"British Airways apologizes for this unfortunate incident, and will pay to wash or replace our loyal passengers' underwear."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I particularly liked the associated video. The cruise ship was flying??????????
First is was heavily discounted cruises for the summer season, now European vacations at steep discount. But really I think I will just go to Mexico, it is safer.
What I want to know- did the announcement that the plane was going down begin with the phrase "For your convenience...?"
You know, I'm not as concerned that they accidently played the message as I am that there is a pre-recorded message at all. Does it happen enough they need a pre-recorded message?
"In August 2010, a message announcing, "We may shortly need to make an emergency landing on water," was played by mistake on a British Airways flight from Heathrow to Hong Kong."
How often does BA anticipate water landings that they have a button for this message?!?!?!
I'd much rather they play that by accident then them not play it for real
Just saying.
It's less that it happens often enough that they need an annoucement and more that you don't want the pilots busy making an announcement when they should be trying to land in the water.
