I loved that I was never sure if they were going to live.

Also, the story and the writing and ... !

Well done. :)

Thank you! I admit I didn't know if they were going to live either. A plane crash is usually a pretty one-way trip, so I thought I'd give it a bit of a better ending, even if it wasn't super happy.

And I'm glad you enjoyed the writing. It always brightens up my day to read that.

I could be wrong but plane crashes on average are more likely to have survivors, who well survive.

[egalitarianmuse]

That's...reassuring? I mean, I imagine it would depend on where they crashed. I'm thinking the odds for someone who crashed into ground would be worse and that someone who crashed in water is more likely to have a risk of drowning than dying in the crash itself, no? I could certainly be wrong about that though.

I could be missing your point though. :?

No, I think I get it now. When I think of place crashes, I don't tend to think of Lost situations where people crash and survive. I tend to think of them as one-way trips with some exceptions; at least, where fiction is concerned. In reality, however, you may be right that there are more likely to be survivors.
