]]> 86453 2 0 Step Book the right seat Book a seat in the exit row or within five rows of it. People in those seats have the highest survival rates.

]]> 86454 3 0 Step Pay attention Pay attention to the safety instructions provided on your flight. Research shows the least informed people during a crash are frequent fliers, because they often don’t pay attention to the safety briefings before takeoff.

]]> 86455 4 0 Step Find your life preserver On most planes, life preservers are located under the seat. Take a second to verify that yours is there. In many cases, your seat cushion may be used as an additional flotation device.

]]> 86456 5 0 Step Leave your shoes on Don’t take your shoes off when the plane takes off. They will protect your feet if you have to evacuate into very cold water.

]]> 86457 6 0 Step Don't panic If the pilot has announced an emergency water landing, remain calm and await instructions from a crewmember. Put your head in your lap to brace for impact, and unbuckle your seatbelt only when the plane has come to a complete stop.

]]> 86458 7 0 Step Grab the life preserver Once the plane has stopped, grab your life preserver, stand up, and put it on. Pull the tabs to inflate it or blow into the tubes. Pull your seat cushion up and hug it to your chest.

]]> 86459 8 0 Step Get out Don’t waste time fishing for your luggage – speed is key to a successful evacuation. Head for the exits located over the wings; opening the main cabin doors will let in more water.

]]> 86460 9 0 Tip Jets are designed to stay afloat as long as the inside of the plane doesn’t fill with water. The faster you evacuate, the better your chances of survival.

]]> 86461 10 0 Step Keep warm in water If you have to jump into cold water, the shock will be intense. Try not to panic. Take one minute to get your breathing under control as you tread water gently; then start treading water as vigorously as you can. The more you move, the warmer your body will stay until help arrives.

]]> 86462 11 0 Fact When pilot Chesley Sullenberger successfully landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River, he disembarked last, after sweeping the plane twice for passengers.
