I can think of quite a few plane crashes where no one survived.
Are you trying to argue that children being on the FLOOR might have been safer than being in a car seat? I think it's generally accepted at this point that anyone, be it an adult or a child is infinitely safer when strapped into a seat. Of course, if there are no survivors then nothing will help, but many crashes are survivable by at least some portion of the pax, and being restrained in a car seat (to negate the enormous forces of impact) will absolutely 100 times out of 100 be safer than being placed on the floor. It's physics.
