abstract="An analysis of survival of passengers involved in accidents over the last decade shows approximately three time fewer fatalities, in proportion to the number of passengers involved, in wide-bodied jets than in piston aircraft. Various factors affecting the improved survival rates are discussed. Application of these points with particular reference to airport disaster planning is made. It is shown that there are larger numbers of survivors when life-saving emergency treatment utilizes the concept of &quot;bringing the hospital to the disaster.&quot; Details of the Mobile Emergency Hospital developed at Kennedy International Airport are described.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
