United Airbus Engine Fire

I also found the pax shouting “no” pretty poignant. I saw the video on Reddit and figured the comments would be pointing that out but nope, just varying versions of “why is that guy the smartest guy on the plane.” Not just on r/news but subs that are generally pretty respectable. Hard to imagine a cultural shift where we come back from this level of entitlement. Ive also mentioned it here before but as a person who lost someone on Aeroflot 1492, I have pretty strong feelings on the subject. Not that you need a personal tragedy to understand the basics of functioning cohesively with others in this grand arrangement we call ‘society’…

He chose....poorly.

From a human factors perspective,given the PSA crash,and to a lesser extent the Lear crash,I could see a fight or flight response kicking in leading to a passenger induced evac

Surprised you're this ignorant to history

Counterculture of the 1960s - Wikipedia

I'm not ignorant of that, those people were my parents, sort of. My dad was 22 and my mom was 20 in '68, but neither were what you'd call "hippies", dad was graduating from Art Center and was more of a beatnik/punk/greaser and mom was the atypical surfer chick and neither were part of the commune movement. I'm not saying they didn't subscribe to the zeitgeist in some ways, my brother was born in '69 and I found myself amongst humanity in '71. Over the course of my life I observed my parents change from free wheeling kids to responsible adults. I'm not saying either of them ever voted for a Republican. What I'm saying is their priorities changed and that free wheeling lifestyle was not copasetic with actually having a stable family life. Don't blame me for the excesses of my parents. I don't care.

I wish my folks had excesses. They were children of parent that bore them soon after the Great Depression so we cooked from scratch, fixed things, painted, built, the only thing we were able to hire-out for was a roof job because I developed a fear of heights and couldn’t help as much.

Oh, and a tech to fix the cooler. Other than that, if it broke, we fixed it ourselves.

One of the more essential functions of crew members is to override and contain panic.

If there is a passenger induced evac, do you force everyone to evac once it's started? Or can I remain seated until it's all sorted out?

If you remain seated as people clear out on the pax initiated evac, it’s more convenient and less congested to get your belongings from the overhead to take with you. Since it’s not a real emergency.
