In-flight emergency is the biggest nightmare of any
traveller. Recently, an Emirates plane crash landed at Dubai International
Airport. Thankfully, there were no fatalities and all 300 passengers escaped
the incident. After the incident, a few passengers told the media about their
miraculous escape and how they were seconds away from death. It was discovered
that the quick response of cabin crew and passengers led to this conclusion.
Similarly, in 2009 a US Airways jet crash landed at Hudson River in New York.
Again, the quick response helped in evacuating everyone safely. In 2005, an Air
France jet skidded off the runway in Toronto while landing. Thanks to the crew,
all 297 passengers escaped the burning wreckage safely. Such incidents can
happen anywhere, anytime and with anyone. Thus, every traveler is required to
be careful about his/her journey. Travelers need to be prepared for any
unexpected emergency in-flight. In this Blog, we will discuss some things you
should keep in mind if God Forbid you face an emergency. The information in
this blog also includes inputs from many crash survivors as well.
