As many as 14 other passengers were later discovered to have survived the initial crash but died while waiting to be rescued.

Is that better or worse than being told you have a face for radio?

I remember seeing an article back in the 90s or maybe even 80s that was exploring the possibility of the entire passenger compartment separating from the wings and rest of the fuselage and parachuting down in the event of a major failure. The thing is, it would be ridiculously expensive to implement, and there are very few situations where such a system would be any better than keeping the plane in one piece.
