    Surely if the Plane is going down, we're all goosed.

    And anyway, if it was a proper obligatory thing, we should have to demonstrate our understanding via some sort of course.

    Does anyone else agree that (like most air travel stuff) it is a waste of time.

    The whistle is to attract sharks. You can't sue the airline if you are dead.

    Not necessarily goosed.
    A neighbour of mine survived a crash on landing.
    Lot's of people died, he got out.
    Just listen up and take it seriously, it could save your life

    If it saves even just one life, then it's worth it.

    If passengers cannot get the concept of one plastic clear bag with <100ml containers I pity them in a crash situation.

    I've seen enough episodes of aircraft investigation to make me take that Info on board , excuse the pun .

    Fires on board , engine fires after landing , aircrafts crashing on landing .....

    I remember one man saying on one episode " I instantly regretted having that alcohol on board because I knew that one second after landing/ crashing would possibly make the difference between living and dieing .

    3 words insurance, insurance, insurance. The second an incident happens and it goes to court and it transpires there was no safety message, ching ching. I win my law suit against the airline for not following safety procedures.

    Its so good it’s worth doing on the bus tomorrow on your way to work, if the driver won’t do it, then it’s up to you, come on commuters, where’s your community spirit?

    How the fuçk are ‘we all goosed’ ? Remember ‘the miracle on the Hudson’ ? and countless other examples where planes crashed and people survived ? No ? the video will give you some information and education that can improve your chances of surviving, helping other passengers etc. including your loved ones.
