Extraordinary footage of this crash, and the way the landing passenger plane went up like a bonfire on landing. I can't help wondering how many entitled Westeners, on a budget airline with the usual visibly hung over cabin crew, would have made it off the plane? That all 379 people got off safely is an incredible thumbs up to the airline, and aircraft, and passengers.
I fly regularly and always listen to the safety briefing out of courtesy. The vast majority of the people around me are always too cool for school however, and on landing there are always plenty who keep working on their laptops until given at least 3 reminders to close it and stash it. Loads of people are still listening to loud music (which is allowed) for landing. I just can't see a bunch of the people I fly with all getting off the plane without taking "essential" luggage and thus killing other people with the delay.
The cabin crew had a lot to get wrong too - open the wrong door and they were all toast, and the craft was damaged and listing with the audio not working - they earned their money big time there.
They should show this crash before every safety briefing on every flight from now on! This is why you pay attention, and this is why you follow the rules if the shit hit the fan. If that plane was landing in the UK I bet half the people would have died.
