If you have ever wondered which seat provides the best protection in the event of a plane crash, KLM India sought to help in a surprising – and quickly deleted – tweet.

According to The Washington Post, the airline put out the tweet in response to a trivia question they posted earlier on Twitter.

“According to data studies by Time, the fatality rate for the seats in the middle of the plane is the highest. However, the fatality rate for the seats in the front is marginally lesser and is least for seats at the rear third of a plane,” KLM India tweeted in the since-deleted post.
The airline removed the tweet, which many naturally found a tad unsettling and issued an apology saying, “The post was based on a publically available aviation fact, and isn’t a @KLM opinion. It was never our intention to hurt anyone’s sentiments. The post has since been deleted.”

According to The Washington Post, the FAA says there are too many variables to consider to say which section of a plane is the safest in the rare event of a plane crash.
