There's actually a pretty gigantic list of sole survivors from plane crashes. Lot of stories here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sole_survivors_of_airli...


It would be interesting to have seat numbers of survivors.


Popular Mechanics did an analysis of seat location's impact on survivability based on NTSB reports: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/aviation/safety/4...

There's relatively little data, though, since commercial airliners don't crash that often.
