John Tory Jr.—a seasoned commercial pilot and aviation safety consultant with over 20 years flying experience—explains that while luck played a huge role in the Air India crash survival of seat 11A, crash data actually points to rear‑middle seats as statistically safer and emphasizes that proximity to an exit, plus knowing the brace position, can greatly improve survival odds. He underscores that no seat guarantees safety, but picking a spot within five rows of an exit, buckling up properly, and being mentally prepared is your best bet in a dire emergency.
