If you jump off a plane just before it crashes will you jump up or down?

Answer 1

You would jump up, but then of course, gravity will take effect and you would, inevitably, come spiraling down to Earth. There also is the chance that, determined by the velocity of the falling plane, you would fly up even further because of the force of wind and G-force of the falling plane and air currents. In this event you would have even less of a chance of living, unless you had a parachute, then your chances would increase. Just out of curiosity, were you planning on jumping out of any crashing planes? Please, suicide is not the answer.
