The reason is that many people have flying anxiety and saying stuff like "this could potentially cause a fire on the plane" will trigger it by having them imagine worst-case scenarios (that are additionally extremely unlikely to happen). I've heard "Well they shouldn't be on a plane if they're so anxious" as a response, but that is not a workable solution.
- Kwpolska 3y agoThe safety announcements are already full of worst-case scenarios, like cabin depressurisation, emergency landing and evacuation, and landing on water.
- johnfn 3y agoThat's not really true: they never say the word 'crash', and even the way that they phrase things make them seem more mundane than they actually are. You do need to know how to operate your mask; you don't need to know every possible way the plane might burst into flame.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoAnd you're pretending that "plane might burst into flame" is the best phrasing available for the danger posed by damaged batteries. Absurd.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoIt's a way more workable solution than having the plane burn down.
