Screaming isn’t going to put the fire out.

Every flight starts with an introduction to a plane’s safety features and a detailed list of instructions about what you’re supposed to do in case of an emergency.

However, nobody listens to this shit, and so, when there actually *is* an emergency, your average passenger is much more likely to just freak the fuck out rather than actually try to fix the problem.

Aaaand that’s exactly what happened on a recent flight to Edmonton when an apparent “wildlife strike” caused one of the engines to start spewing flames. For some reason, the passengers thought the best course of action was to just keep yelling, “Fire!”

Eh, that’s what noise-canceling headphones are for.
