Default How does a wet cloth really help (scientifically) to survive an airplane crash?

Seems to me, an emergency kit for an airplane, could include
a wash cloth of a size sufficient to cover both your nose and
mouth, in a plastic bag.



Your chances of being in an airplane crash are minute, parts-per-million. Given
a crash, your chances of surviving are fundamentally low.


A lot of people survive plane crashes, even the one where the big plane
was doing cartwheels. The number who don't survive but could have if
they had a survival kit is probably verrrrry low.

Seems like something
not worth worrying about.
