Let go life: Plane Crash: Will an Airplane Explode Gasify People? What are the chances of a person surviving?

An explosion is a very powerful thing, it can blow up everything around it in an instant. Everyone should have thought more or less about "how powerful is the explosion of the plane", "will the explosion of the plane crash vaporize people" and "what is the probability that people will survive". What is the answer? The author will answer your questions below.

Looking at every "air crash incident", have you noticed that most people's discussions focus on the people who died, and people care about what kind of damage they will suffer and the possible chance of survival?

Question 1: How powerful is an airplane explosion?

The temperature created by the explosion of the plane was 959 degrees Celsius. According to relevant research results, explosion is an extremely rapid physical or chemical energy release process. Its most important feature is "a sudden change in pressure between the explosion system and its surrounding medium", and the direct cause of the explosion damage is the sharp change in the pressure difference.

Looking back at the plane crash, the temperature generated by the plane explosion was as high as 2000°C. The temperature generated by the fuel explosion after the Brazil air crash reached 1000 °C, and the US space shuttle crashed 2000 °C, which may be the highest temperature in a plane crash so far.

The power of the plane's explosion depends on the amount of fuel remaining. The more fuel remaining, the greater the power. Therefore, when the plane makes an emergency landing, the fuel is released first, leaving only enough fuel for landing.

Question 2: Will the explosion of the plane cause people to be gasified?

It is understood that the explosion of the plane will not cause people to be gasified.

The explosion will have a shock wave, which is formed due to the high speed and high pressure generated by the explosive at the moment of the explosion. Can cause shock injury to the human body. Compared with the normal atmospheric pressure, the shock wave is larger, about several times the normal atmospheric pressure, which can cause damage to multiple organs of the human body, and also generates high-speed airflow, which will form dynamic pressure, which can cause people to fall and be injured and cause Limbs severed.

The killing effect of the shock wave mainly depends on the two factors of "shock wave overpressure" and "shock wave action time".

However, it is understood that the atomic bomb dropped by Japan at the core of the explosion will be instantly vaporized, leaving nothing left. The power of the plane's explosion did not reach the point of vaporization, but it was recorded that seven people in the accident when the Columbia space shuttle returned to the flight were vaporized instantly. However, everyone has to know that the power of the space shuttle is completely different from that of ordinary civilian aircraft.

Therefore, the explosion of ordinary civilian aircraft cannot reach the power of humanization, but the space shuttle can, and there are atomic bombs dropped by Japan and people are at the core of the explosion.

Question 3: What are the chances of surviving a plane explosion?

After the plane explodes, the probability of surviving is basically zero, but there is still a possibility of surviving the plane crash, but the probability is very low.

When landing at an altitude of less than 1,000 meters, the speed is at least 100 kilometers or less, the probability of surviving is about 50%, and the probability of wanting to save limbs is zero.

At this time, if a big explosion occurs, no one in the cabin will be spared, and those who jump out of the cabin to reach the ground will have the possibility of survival.

It can be seen that the impact of the explosion of the aircraft is very large. In addition to the loss of life of the people in the aircraft, it may also harm the creatures on the ground.
