It’s an image from a study of Allied bombers during World War 2. The red dots are places where the plane was shot, yet still managed to return home. A knee-jerk reaction would be to add armor to these places, but the real solution was to add armor to the places where the suvivors hadn’t been shot (cockpit, engines, tail), resulting in more planes surviving their bombing runs.
Sorry if it’s unrelated, I understand the meme but what’s the background of it?

Oooh thank you. I thought the background was about a plane crash and where survivors would need to be to survive
Survivorship bias
