IntroductionCommercial airlines in the U.S. are the
safest and most efficient form of transportation.
Only 15 % of airline accidents involve fatalities.
Even in these accidents the majority of the passengers survive the accident.
![Page 7: U.S. Department of Transportation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/568134f0550346895d9c310a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Introduction80 % of the fatalities in a survivable
accident occur after the airplane has come to a stop, during the evacuation.
On average, there is less than 2 minutes to evacuate an aircraft after an accident.
