Adventures of Link: A Few Pre-Flight Announcements

January 30, 2008 at 5:25 PM | 0 Comments

We know, we know. We're really supposed to pay attention to those pre-flight safety demos on planes. And honestly we usually do--though more out of sympathy for the FAs than interest in our own self-preservation. (True story: You'll fare better in a crash if you listen to the spiel.)

Even so, nobody else, it seems, tunes in when the crew is reminding you not to pull down on those red tabs before exiting the aircraft. Delta is making a new safety video to get passengers watching, and Virgin America came out with a witty animated clip awhile back. Still, is a fun video really gonna tear you away from those trashy celeb rags you bought at the airport newsstand?
