I agree.
But you think that someone who already lives in a place "x" with a 10 times higher chance of being hit by a very unlikely disaster (such as a plane crash) [so   10 ^ (- 6) instead of 10 ^ (- 7)] respect to a place "y", and that this guy absolutely does not want to die (obviously); should he move in y?
Or, despite the risks of x and y are apparently equal  (excluding the disaster), in reality there may be risks difficult to assess that could make the relocation useless?

Then you have a tradeoff security is better the higher up you go but it is more difficult to escape the building in case of fire or earthquake. In my country breakins are many times more likely than a natural disaster so I would choose higher up. In your country the probabilities may be different.

I also think that the chances of a plane crash in the lower floors are lower than the upper floors, because being the building surrounded by other buildings, to hit the lower floors a plane should fall almost vertically.
Do you think it should be considered, although the possibility is very very low?

Are the first floor apartment windows accessible from the ground? Is it easy to climb up there from the outside? Is there a balcony connected to the apartment?

There is a balcony connected to the apartment, but it is inside the fence, not directly on the street. I think that simply jumping is not possible to reach the balcony, but with the help of another person on which you can stand on the shoulders it's possible to reach the balcony

The first residential floor is the first floor and it's not on the street level, it's a floor above. The ground floor it's just for the lobby, it doesn't hasn't an alarm but has a glass door locked with a classic key.
My previous answer refers to the first floor, sorry but english is not my first language

The ground floor windows have any kind of defense like bars or alarms?

No, but i think you can add the bars or alarms by yourself

in the area there is a nomad camp, mostly drunk and dirty people, but I think they are often too drunk to do serious damage. There were also some burglaries in the apartments (when the owners were not at home)

Hi! I've got a question:

In a 8-floors building, which floor is the safest?

Consider that:

-there is not fire escape (fire escapes are uncommon in europe residential buildings)

-is surrounded by equal tall buildings

-is near an airport

Ask me if you need more informations, and thanks for the answers!
