A pilot on TikTok shared with his followers advice on how to act during an emergency situation on a flight.
Although many travelers are familiar with airplane safety rules, a pilot on TikTok decided to share with his followers tips on how to act in an emergency situation during a flight.
The pilot explained that one of the most important actions any passenger can take in a risky situation is to put on the oxygen mask.
“The reality is that 99% of the oxygen bottles inside aircraft are actually a solid chemical reaction,” he explained. When the passenger puts on the mask, it releases a pin that activates this reaction to release oxygen.
Although it is an instruction often given by flight attendants, the TikTok pilot emphasizes the importance of this gesture in crucial moments.
He also stressed that passengers should always put on their own mask first. The masks drop when the plane reaches an altitude that affects the aircraft’s oxygen supply.
The information surprised users on the social network, with some feeling guilty for ignoring the safety instructions.
“Wait, why does this seem like the most important part of the explanation, but they never tell us this?” commented one profile. “I’m going to tell this to everyone who sits next to me on every flight, forever,” said another.
