Group of Mexican scientists intentionally crashed a Boeing 727 to test which seats had the best chance of survival

The two sources are Reddit posts about a controversial experiment conducted in 2012, in which Mexican scientists intentionally crashed a Boeing 727 to test which seats had the highest survival rate in a plane crash. The posts include a lively discussion about the experiment's validity, ethical concerns, and the relative merits of sitting in various parts of the plane during a crash. Commenters debate whether this singular crash is a reliable source of data, and whether the results are worth the cost of destroying the plane. The discussion also brings up the reality that most crashes are not intentional, and that the safest place to be during a plane crash is not in the plane at all, but rather on the ground, watching a movie.
