Two people removed from Air New Zealand flight after failing to listen to safety briefing
Two "wealthy-looking" passengers were kicked off an Air New Zealand flight after reportedly refusing to pay attention to an airline safety briefing. The two, a man and a woman, were sitting in an exit-row on a plane at Wellington Airport bound for Auckland on Tuesday morning. (www.stuff.co.nz) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I absolutely love this squawk because it proves that their own self-importantance was greater than the message of the in flight briefing. Pay attention to the pre-flight message. I still listen pay attention because it is just ingrained since I started flying when I was 15. I am 63 now. These briefings you could say are mission critical. The yuppies learned the hard way. The briefing will save your life. I carry a smoke hood to help me get out of a burning aircraft fast, it fives you 2 minutes of oxygen . They are small and fit in your pocket. Throw it away when used properly. Most safety supply companies carry them.
Amen.
To me, removing passengers like this is just common sense, like clearing hazardous debris from the runway.
When I fly, it's the reaction of my fellow passengers in an emergency situation that worries me more than the emergency itself. The last thing I want is to die in an otherwise survivable crash because some idiot in front of me held up the evacuation to retrieve their Louis Vuitton bag.

It's been reported that the evacuation of the Superjet that crash-landed in Russia this week was hindered by passengers trying to retrieve their carry-on bags to take with them. It's far from the first time that's happened.
This is an excellent squawk. Poor people or those living on the edge of existence treasure their personal effects are held as life long treasures. We have to remember that Russia exists on the economic edge of oblivion. Of course these poor souls tried to recover treasured artifacts. When studying accidents in poor or stressed nations this habit of placing their objects in their personal travel effects, Hence people chose their treasures ahead of their lives. This is just a horrible accident.
They chose their treasures ahead of someone else's life, if they got off carrying their baggage at the expense of the someone not getting off fast enough to live.
Cansior, the size of Russia's economy is very similar to Australia's.
It's nowhere near oblivion! Maybe you're listening to too much Murdoch media an similar. Russia still have manned spacecraft, the US don't. And they also have super high velocity missile systems...
