is it easier to survive a plane crash during a landing as opposed

[dead0man]

The speeds tend to be higher at take off, but I think the most important aspect at work here is where the crash takes place.  Crash during landing your plane is going to be at or very near the airport, a place very much designed to assist plane crashes.  Crash during takeoff and you'll often find yourself a mile or more away from the air port, often in a forest, a neighborhood, a side of a mountain, etc.  A less than perfect place to do rescue work.

Landings are still scarier and more dangerous.

Both are devastating. Many lives could be saved if only passengers had the ability to open their windows.

Maybe.  The plane would also weigh more, that would increase the ticket price and decrease the planes performance.  You'd also have to make them so they CAN'T be opened during regular  flight (for what should be obvious reasons), which would increase the price more.
