Plane Crash Scenario Information

Plane Crash

The scenario

A small aircraft crashes in the shark infested waters of the Pacific Ocean. There is damage to the aircraft on impact with the water which causes the electronic systems within to be damaged. The resulting radio failure means that no may-day message can be sent.

Of the sixteen passengers on the plane there are nine survivors. The location of the crash is approximately one and a half days from the nearest land. The life raft on one side of the aeroplane can be used, however there is only room for four persons in it.

Your group must reach a decision as to which four people can enter the life raft. You have a limited amount of time to make a decision before the aircraft sinks.
