I wonder if kids are actually better at surviving than adults in those situations.

Especially young babies, they are very chubby for a reason.

We have to remember that although surviving 40 days without a parent is extreme, it’s probably pretty common in our history.

What happened to children 2-3, 5-8 and 10-12?

I would guess there was none. A plane doesn't stock up on people by age. It could also be that they died in the crash like the adults did.. I prefer the former.

I'm #1!
