‘You are barrelling about the skies at 500 miles an hour.' Why flight attendants want you to stop ignoring them

When an airplane collision occurred at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport earlier this month, the Japan Airlines aircraft caught fire. Social media was flooded with terrifying images of the runway fire. While five people on the Japan Coast Guard plane were killed, all 379 passengers on board the JAL aircraft survived. This incident has sparked discussions about crew and passenger relations, airline safety briefings, and the realities of working as a flight attendant. Flight attendants are trained extensively to handle emergencies and ensure the safety of passengers. Safety videos that emphasize following cabin crew instructions and leaving belongings behind during evacuations play a crucial role in passenger awareness.
