2. If the plane were flying at 30,000 feet altitude, and it started to go straight down, it would be going 947 MPH.... If you tried to jump from that speed, you would still die.
... 900 mph? I think you got miles confused with kilometres. An average plane cruises at around 500 knots, or 575 ground mph. And who said the plane was nose-diving? There's virtually no chance for a plane to reach that speed, unless it starts nosediving immediately as it reaches top speed, or if it's a MiG(any type).
But, still, I'd rather die in a plane crash than a car accident. Firstly, there's hardly any chance you'll survive in a crash of a 100 T aluminium can full of fuel. And also, I can see it coming, (unless somehow the plane crashes into another one) so I can enjoy my last moments listening to my favorite song!
