How to prepare for a plane crash? Passenger Instructions

Frequently, flying passengers consider safety instructions to be a boring compulsory procedure before flying; besides, they already know them by heart, writes Air force.

But the disaster that occurred on April 17, when the American passenger Southwest Airlines died due to an emergency on board, proved how important it is to listen carefully to the instructions. There were 140 passengers on board, he made a successful emergency landing. However, videotapes and photographs taken on board cause concern, since they show that many passengers misused oxygen masks. Some airline employees, tired of the fact that passengers completely ignore their explanations before the flight, began to write in social networks why we all should start paying attention to safety instruction.

One of the tweets, written by former flight attendants Bobby Laurie, users re-published more than 10 thousands of times.

Bobby Laurie on Twitter: “PEOPLE: Listen to your flight attendants! ALMOST EVERYONE in this photo from @SouthwestAir flight #SWA1380 today was wearing their mask WRONG. Put down your phone, stop taking selfies... and LISTEN. Cover [with a mask] your NOSE and MOUTH.”

Lori has worked for 10 in the US for years and helped develop some of the emergency brochures that he uses. American Airlines.

He told the BBC that when he saw the footage from the flight, the first thing he noticed was the masks: “Of course, everyone found themselves in a situation they didn’t expect, and everyone was panicking. But safety demonstrations are carried out at the beginning of every flight around the world!”

How important are safety recommendations in flight?

If you try to answer this question in one word, it would be “very,” says experienced pilot and aviation safety expert Phil Croucher.

“The airline cannot do everything for you. The responsibility also falls on the passenger,” he says. “Even if it’s boring, there’s bound to be something you missed before that you’ll remember.”

He is also firmly convinced that the use of alcohol on board should be prohibited in order to protect passengers and not cloud their mind.

If flight attendants are ignored, their work can become very complicated. Bobby Laurie believes that improving flight safety has made passengers more arrogant.

“This is one of the most frustrating parts of this job. You're standing in front of people, trying to convey to them how they can save their life in an emergency, and they're texting, taking selfies, putting on headphones, or even sleeping! You know that they turned a deaf ear - and it’s you who will have to get them off the plane in a life-threatening situation.”

What is most important?

The briefing, whether video or live demonstration by flight attendants, provides information on what to do in the event of an unlikely but possible emergency.

Andrea Tullos on Twitter: “Today I was reminded why flight attendant training is so important. Anything can happen at any moment. Please review the safety briefing and please remember that our job is much more than just pouring Coca-Cola at 30 feet."

Each airline and aircraft model has its own evacuation procedures and equipment, so experts say it's important to review each one.

Seat belts

It is recommended to always keep your seat belt fastened in case something unusual happens, such as sudden turbulence.

One of the flights that serviced Bobby Laurie, in the midst of the blue sky, unexpectedly fell into a zone of strong turbulence. He himself and other passengers in the tail of the aircraft hit the ceiling of the liner.

"Fasten seat belt sign" was turned on, but people still lined up to go to the toilet, even though they were warned not to leave their seats, he says. “And this can happen at any moment - even the crew cannot always predict it.”

Oxygen Masks

In a number of emergency situations, oxygen masks are used. Often, they require activation after dropping into the salon, and they need to be put on, covering their nose and mouth.

“If the mask doesn't cover your nose and mouth, it's like scuba diving, only in the air: you have to constantly remember that you can only breathe through your mouth,” Laurie explains.

Masks are important because the pressure in the cabin is much higher than outside.

In the event of an accident like the one that happened on April 17 Southwest Airlines, there is a sudden depressurization of the cabin, and the air starts to leave it sharply.

Safe posture for emergency landing

In any emergency landing, the cabin crew will explain to the passengers how to adopt a safe posture and even practice it while the plane is in decline.

Both experts explain that this posture is designed to minimize stress in the body and the likelihood of injury during a descent and impact of the aircraft.

Leave personal items

No matter how crazy it sounded, there were cases when in an emergency, people tried to take bags and shoes with them before leaving the plane.

Pilot Phil Croucher explains that the planes are designed so that all passengers have the opportunity to evacuate within 90 seconds, and any unreasonable delay can be fatal.

“People are panicking, they are pushing each other with their elbows, trampling each other. You could die in this crush. The exit must be absolutely disciplined,” he explains.

Things must be left for one more reason.

“If you take a bag with you, it can puncture the emergency slide,” Bobby Laurie says. - It looks like a huge balloon - your suitcase was not designed for evacuation. How will everyone else be saved?"

More tips?

Accidents and emergencies in aviation are extremely rare. But taking extra precautions—like figuring out how many rows away you are from an emergency exit—can go a long way if something unlikely does happen.

“The flight will most likely be safe and comfortable,” Laurie says. “But everything can change at any moment.” So take a spare minute and review the safety cards, find where the exits are, and brush up on how to put on your oxygen mask. And then put on your headphones and take your selfies!”
