I don't think those two scenarios are comparable. The safety features are in use on an airplane constantly. Backups are only needed when a disaster happens. It'd be more akin to B/A announcing that some emergency system like the air masks isn't functioning. Still incredibly troubling, especially if there was a cabin depressurization scenario, but not to the level of all safety features being broken.
- andyana 10y agoNot all the safety features are in use all the time. Like, you don't use the inflatable slide unless your evacuating.
- mynameisvlad 10y agoSure, and I never said all of them are used all the time, but parent comment specifically did say "all the safety features". I wanted to make the distinction clear that safety features in planes can and are used actively during flights, whereas backups are only used when there's a catastrophe.
