lmao ikr not like the masks deploy literally in front of your face. they deploy in front of the person ahead of you, especially if his name is johnny.

It’s trigonometry, duh. When you descend at a 60 degree angle downward, not only do the wings fall off, but the oxygen sinks to first class, because most airline revenue comes from the rich.

That would spill all of the hot beverages in economy, so the FAA forbids such a descent.

nuh uh it'll only launch them towards the last rows but you won't be able to breathe there anyways so i don't think it'll matter

Worse, all the hot beverages from economy class will spill onto the business class passengers in front of the plane. Can't do that for those big-paying frequent flyers.

Time for a petition to have the planes descend/fall tail-first in emergency settings to avoid this scenario.
