Thanks for the latest Challenger. As always, a fine issue.

The Watts Towers seem like a manifestation of some kind of insanity. I am generally too practical to even think of attempting a similar endeavor on almost any scale.

I'm not certain if Greg Benford is aware, but the TV show Myth Busters did some experimenting on the airline crash position. They were able to determine that the extent of your injuries would be greatly reduced in that position relative to sitting upright. The picture wasn't pretty either way and the certainly didn't address the likelihood of fire or roll-over during a crash.
