Speaking to The HealthSite.com Dr Nishank Sinha from the Department of Emergency Medicine at AIIMS, said, "In aviation accidents even during landing incidents like this the forces involved can cause serious trauma to the body. Injuries to the head, spine, chest, and limbs are common, and internal injuries may not be immediately visible. While some passengers walk away with minor cuts or bruises, others can suffer fractures, traumatic brain injury, spinal damage, or bleeding that can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly."
He added, "In more severe crashes, fatal outcomes often result from blunt force trauma to critical organs or from multiple injuries happening at once. Even in rare cases where a majority survive, medical evaluation is essential because injuries can manifest hours later."
When a plane crash lands, the maximum parts of the aircraft catches fire - leading to instant death due to flame or burnt.
Dr Sinha explains - "In fatal plane crashes or severe crash landings, death is most often caused by overwhelming blunt force trauma to vital organs. Victims may suffer catastrophic head injuries, severe spinal damage, crushed chest injuries leading to lung collapse, massive internal bleeding, or multi-organ failure due to the sudden deceleration forces involved. Doctors say the body experiences extreme stress within seconds, and survival depends on the impact angle, speed, fire risk, and timely medical response. In many cases, injuries are so extensive that they prove fatal either instantly or shortly after due to irreversible damage to the brain, heart, or lungs."
