Let's see, they just experienced unexpected severe turbulence, people are hurt, and some persons gotta whip out his cellphone and start strolling up and down the aisle to recorded the aftermath.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand a few others that were up tending to some of the wounded (glad there are others that are willing to risk personal injury to help others), but to just get up and stroll around to get footage is just STUPID. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a lawyer gathering footage and hoping to capitalize on the situation even though it's not the airlines fault some people don't following directions and keep their seatbelts fastened at all times.
The flying public will have been nudged toward keeping their seat belts fastened even when the sign is off after seeing that video in televised news reports. Net positive for everyone.
