Let this be a reminder to always keep your seatbelt on.
I've been sharing on other videos that the pilot mentioned the instrument panel shut down. Go read the nzherald, they cared to post the comments of passengers who were on that flight. If the pilot said instrument panel shut down (and these planes aren't analog anymore) that would explain the sudden dip in altitude.
Another 787 computer issue?
Sounds like the same problem the 737s had with MCAS. Boeing's planes that have the MCAS had problems with it forcing the nose of the plane downwards, they've had problems with it in the past. 😬
Now, This is serious. On other reports an actual passenger witness reports that the pilot told him that his flight management screen went blank. So unless this was a once in a million hit by a cosmic ray then Boeing have a serious problem.
Those flying people must've looked like the Key and Peele skit when he would not listen to the flight attendant and fasten his seatbelt. 😂😂😂
Discomfort?? Head injuries, more serious
Scrolling and saw this, thought it was gonna be a brawl or something. I'm disappointed.
They usually call it turbulence. AND?
Why would you take off your seatbelt during turbulence?
This is why, unless you need to go to the lavatory, while in your seat, you should keep your seatbelt ON. Always. If you are going to sleep, and have a blanket covering you, fasten it over the blanket. This way, cabin crew will not need to waken you if the seatbelt sign goes on.
If it's Boeing I'm not going
Do people still need to be reminded in 2024 to keep their seat belts fastened? Apparently so…
Pretty simple just to stay in your seat with your seatbelt fastened. If you aren't using the toilet, stay in your seat with the belt fastened. It's not a bus or motorhome.
I just don't understand it. they must be real tall, or something They tell you to keep your seat belt fastened when you are seated. so how could they start flying around the cabin? Perhaps they are "special" and don't need to follow safety rules.
Sure makes you want to fly doesn’t it. NOT!
Time to refund the passengers.
No masks??
Maybe there was a little party going on in the cockpit and someone accidentally kicked the controls. It happens.
america builds planes are trouble, i hope nobody is going to be hurt.
