Travelers concerned about aviation safety after the crash in South Korea are wondering where the safest seats on a plane are.

The article details the miraculous survival of two passengers, Lee Yoon-hye and Park Seung-cheol, from a South Korean plane crash in 1983. The crash occurred when a Korean Air Lines Boeing 747, en route from Paris to Seoul via Anchorage, was shot down by Soviet fighter jets after straying into Soviet airspace. Out of 181 passengers and crew, only these two survived. Their survival was largely due to their seating positions; Lee was in the rear of the plane, and Park was in the front, areas that were less damaged upon impact. The article recounts their harrowing experience, the subsequent investigation which highlighted navigational errors and communication issues, and the broader geopolitical tensions of the Cold War era that influenced the incident's aftermath.
