I think that most people are involved in a car accident at some point, although usually it's just a rear-ending or something.

Those are for actually being killed... not just being involved in one.

When planes explode...I guess it's always more at the engines (because that's where the fuel tanks are which will provide an ignition source) so I think it's better to sit at the back or the front (if you can afford it). :D

I get the strange feeling that this thread does not send the right message to
would-be passengers.

plane crash clearly means plane crashing into object/thing.

How often do you get to choose your seat anyways?

The brace position will probably be the one that saves you, if any, and it will probably be on a landing. IMO, anywhere else and your fucked.
