Speaker 1 (00:03):
It is Chelsy and the men that's cutting the floor. Yeah,
it's Chelsy and the men's cutting floor. Yeah, it's Chelsy
and the men that's cutting floor.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Something that ended up on the sweepings of our cutting
room floor is this discussion. And I think it's very
relevant that poor man that was killed on the British
Airways flight Wowurbulence.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
A flight to Singapore. Lots of Australians were on that
flight too, but yeah, he had a heart attack. Through
the terms people were injured. I've seen footage of people's
faces all smashed up when the plane dropped. They all
just hit the ceiling, the ones that didn't have seatbelts
on and smashed through all the cupboards and things.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Yeah, up above their heads.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
People were somersaulting down the aisle and looking at the debris.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
There was just stuff everywhere. They say flight is safe,
and largely it is safe. But in the old days,
wil were.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
An orvial right when they flew from Kitty Hawk all
those years ago, all they hoped for was to get
the plane in there and land safely.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
And really that still exists to this day.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
But a lot of people get on a plane and
go well, I want to watch the latest Fast and
the Furious franchise. Why can't I watch it? Why is
my screen not working? I'd rather the screen not working
than the plane not working.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, and it's very unusual apparently, that turbulence like this,
that a plane finds itself in the midst of it,
it's very unusual. In light of that story, I saw
this footage of a woman on a frontier airline's flight. Now,
the background to this story is, you know when you
get that seat that's got that extra leg room, it's
like the emergency.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Bunk of seats. Yeah, over the wing.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, And they say they have to do the speech.
If you sit here, are you prepared to open the hatch?
Help people and blubb.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, open the hatch.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
You've got to be compass enough to open the hatch,
push it out and then guide your passengers.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Stick around all the beer bottles that you've the beer
cans that you've left there, and see if you're compass enough.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
As you say, I'm straight into that seat. You'd love
that you would be pussy to help people.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, this woman was sitting there and she was overheard
by a couple of people saying that quote I'm not
going to save anybody if something happens, I'm going to
save myself first. So when the flight attendant came up
to say are you prepared to blah blah blah, she
said yes, and the other people said, I don't think so,

(02:21):
and it became this big fight.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Really were.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
So the woman in question, of course, phones her attorney.
People on the flight were pleading with her to get
off the plane before the Christ's officers arrived because they
want to take off because.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
She lied about her so called heroic capable.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
She made some jokes. See don't joke. She made a joke.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Saying I'm only going to help myself.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
And so when the flight attendant came in that I prepared,
they said, no, she's not going to. What does it
shut your pie holes and then you can take off?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
What does it sound like we've walked on the set
of Good Times? What are you doing? And so the
police were called.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
The other passengers are going come on, and she got handcuffed,
goodness and escorted off.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
So she was making a joke and the other passengers.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Said, hey, I don't trust her to save me. She
should not be in that seat. And she said, I
didn't say nothing, and then the next next minute police,
she's phoning your attorney and.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Police are called. Oh goodness.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
You know, it travels hard enough without all this, As
everyone knows. When they say to you, if you're in
that seat, you're going to help people, you go yes, yeah,
don't but don't make a joke.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm not going all Mark Wahlberg on this, but what
does that mean? Remember when September eleventh and he said
that if he was on that plane, he would have
averted the tragedy.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
What are you going to say here?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I'm not going Mark Wahlburg on this, but what happens
in history? If we don't learn from history, then we're
doomed to just be extinct. And sometimes I wonder that
if that's actually indeed happening.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
But not for me. I like to think I look
to history and I learned from.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
What's the historical relevance here?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
When I get on the plane, I'm always very mindful
of what's going on.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Who's this guy, what's that guy doing, what's she getting?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Why are those wires coming out of that backpack?

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Exactly? All those things.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I'm always just looking and I am always in a
state of.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Vigils flown with you.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
You have eighteen beers before, during, and after, there's no vigilance,
and your mouth is open in your scenory. And that's
a flight to Melbourne from Sydney.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I also see how much beer is in the beer
cart and see if I can sustain me during the flight.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
I worked with a camera man who said that he's
flown enough that he knows statistically knows that things can.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Happen, things can happen.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
And he's the guy when they say, count the number
of seats you are from the foot of the back
of your new exit, he will he's flown so much,
but he will turn around and see how many seats
there are.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
He follows it all.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Through a tea And that did you see, Sally, That's
exactly what happened with Sally Sandra our news reader Sully
as in Captain Sullenberg, Charles Sullenberger when he put the
plane down on the Hudson River. And then if you
watch that movie, people were trying to point out the
insurance company's funnel up insurance company saying, oh, well, you
know they could have you could have landed their plane

(05:16):
at Tetebara or any of the other airports around it
and choose instead. You chose to put it in the Hudson.
And then he said, but what about the human factor?
They didn't factor in the human factor the decision making.
And when that bird strike hit that plane, it was
at they were only like eight hundred feet off the ground.
There's no procedure for that. Both engines gone total engine failure.

(05:40):
That man reacted and he he, and he stood up
to the plate and he did it, and any other
cliches I can think of it.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
And what he's saying that he could be that guy
I would be. I'd like to think I wouldn't just
sit there and.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh, a special meal.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Excuse me, Sully. I know this isn't a long flight,
but I did order a special beam. Is there a
chance I could get another beat.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Anyway?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, okay, if you want.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
That's it for the day, come back fall for more.
I'm showing being a man a moon flow
