The article states:

"Out of the 15,000 people who died in the 18 accidents, only 17.8% of the women survived compared with 34.5% of the men."

 

I thought the survival rate of the 15,000 people who died was zero.

If the ship is going down, the last thing I will do is leave my man. We stay together. It seems like the logical thing to do.
