The Instructoart of Airline Safety

Each airline, from Korean Air to Kentucky Air, is required to illuminate what the hapless chattle-- er, passengers--should do in the unlikely event of a sudden loss in cabin pressure or, even more exciting, an evacuation of the fuselage after a crash landing at sea. So, how does one instruct without inciting panic?

In light of the Air France distaster this week, I am stunned at the efficiency and success of the flight crew in evacuating their passengers, and a bit ashamed by the breezy snarkiness of my post.

Over 300 people survived a situation in which the largest aircraft in the world slid off the runway upon landing, burst into flames and was utterly destroyed in less than 20 minutes.

The crew managed to save every life by getting out of the airplane in less than three minutes!

From my Aunt Nellie and Uncle Lee, wrote:

"With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully at age 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

They put his left leg in.

And then the trouble started.

Don't groan. You know it's funny."
