So when taking passport details, scanning passports and manually checking them at boarding- all they're really doing is ensuring they'll know who was on the plane if it goes down. No red flags, howling sirens or similar, in case of a, say, stolen passport!
But the information is retrieved within 5 minutes after the fact.
That is just soooo.... reassuring?
Mind you, that whole thing probably has nothing to do with what happened. But still.
Obviously recent aircraft disaster worrying me somewhat. Hubby is all like, yeah, it's way more dangerous to get into a car.
Depending on who's driving I mutter. The fact is, in a car you can always hit the breaks. You can, I don't know, be saved by your seat belt.
A plane crash is something very final. Very final indeed. Why do planes even HAVE seat belts?
Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. It seems we are having some technical difficulties and unfortunately we are about to crash. Please fasten your seat belts. Or. Come to think of it. Don't. Whatever. That is all.
