Criticism for the new safety video of Air New Zealand
Auckland - Air New Zealand is known for its special flight safety videos that are shown before the flight. With an ever-changing theme, the airline manages to attract attention, usually in a positive way. But the latest video, which takes place on Antarctica, is not everyone's favorite.

Can we only film safety videos on continents where a plane *hasn't* crashed in the past? Or maybe only on continents where New Zealanders haven't lost their lives in plane crashes? What's the new rule?
A Plane crashed in 1979, therefore Antarctica is banned. Seems legit.
Good video work. Problem is most of the video is a major distraction from the purpose of the safety announcement. Nice try but stick to the subject at hand -- Flight Safety.
Kinda like Super Bowl commercials where, after the commercial, you go, "Say, what were they selling?"
So the video is offensive because there was a crash in Antarctica before and Antarctica is where the video was shot??? Oh come on! That was one of the most beautiful and informative safety video I ever seem! I even learnt how to use the damn oxygen mask (I think I would've ripped it off in case I needed it some day, I never imagined it was necessary so less force to pull it, but now I know). The video is informative AND entertaining at the same time.
Somebody had to be triggered and complain. THAT is the new rule.
'tis the day of the professionally offended, where feelz trumps all... How dare they mention airliners in such an insensitive video - and on the very same planet where something else bad happened to an airliner! For sure, grief hurts - but it doesn't help to keep ripping the scab off your own wounds.
That said, it is kind of long and wander-y, though.
