I know this is a very tame example for what he meant but I'm reminded of Mr Rogers saying look for the helpers

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 56 points 9 months ago

I think he would have said this is a perfectly valid example of what he meant

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 150 points 9 months ago (4 children)

"Don't worry about a thing, honey. I'm gonna help you through this."

"Those are all normal noises."

"Luggage compartment closing. Cross-checking."

"Just sit back and relax."

"That's just the engine powering up."

"That's just the engine struggling."

"That's just the carp swimming around your ankles."

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 64 points 9 months ago

"That's just a routine patrol, we're not actually in Russian airspace."

"They're bluffing."

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago

That noise was just a door panel busting open. This is a Boeing so it's perfectly normal.

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

"Ah!! What was that? Ah yeha, those are the engines, sorry"

"Fuck! Is that God? Are we dead? Ahh, that's the captain speaking, it's fine."

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 81 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I did this once. A stranger asked me to hold her hand as we landed. It was the height of COVID and I was kind of wary, but I used some hand sanitizer before and after, and grabbed her hand as we hit the usual turbulence and bumps on approach. I figured if she was scared enough to ask a stranger to hold her hand, it would be meaningful to her to do it. We didn’t really talk before or after. Once we landed and started taxiing, she let go, thanked me, and I said you’re welcome.

I figured if she was scared enough to ask a stranger to hold her hand, it would be meaningful to her to do it.

This is such an important realization, I think. It was a little bit awkward for you, but imagine her internal process.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

I've experienced some scary shit, for me -- nearly lost a limb (thanks be to medicine), cancer scare, etc. Life shit.

The simple human kindness of reassuring touch is so trivial at the time until you're really in the depths of the fear in the spinning, wild, no-no-no-no part. Then the triviality of reassuring human touch - platonic, but there to say you're not alone - is a fucking lifeline. Just for a moment.

If the flight attendants aren't worried, I'm not worried. Eh, fuck it, I'm just not worried no matter what, it doesn't help.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 64 points 9 months ago (6 children)

I'm not going to worry even if I'm being sucked out of the fuselage after the door plug blows out. Worrying won't help in any of these situations.

I'd probably scream a little tho

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That just sounds like a free ticket to go skydiving to me.

Only redeemable once, though.

[–] _danny@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Truly a once in a lifetime offer.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 8 points 9 months ago (10 children)

Interestingly, that's not always true. Supposedly there are things you can do to improve your chances of surviving a fall without a parachute, like spreading your shirt to increase drag, orienting yourself to land feet-first, knees bent, or aiming for bushes. Luck is a large part of it though.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've literally met someone who survived a parachute failure. She mentioned something vague about a skydiving incident, so I looked her up. Turns out she literally survived hitting the ground after her parachute didn't open. Lots of nasty injuries, some permanent, but nothing obviously debilitating.

If you're falling over farmland, aim for the giant stacks of hay, as well.

Yeah might as well. It's funner when you put your hands up!

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

That looks like a Delta plane. Delta doesn't fly any 737Max-9 planes. In the USA you'd need Alaska or United for that.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But it does help to worry a bit before you are sucked out the fuselage though.

Keeps you from getting nearer to the open hole.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

That's well past worrying, mate.

The most apt description of worry that I've found is that worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but ultimately, it doesn't get you anywhere.

IMO, if the flight attendants look worried, I'm preparing myself to jump into action if required. Putting things away and getting ready to move at a moment's notice if it's needed. Beyond that, I'm not going to take charge and start delegating or anything. I don't have that much of an ego. I'm just ready and willing to help, and if I have a few minutes to prepare myself, then I can do that much more quickly.

As for worrying, I handle worry and stress with action. So until there's something to do, worry isn't a helpful emotion to me, so I'll do everything in my power to ignore or eliminate it until I can take action.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 50 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (14 children)

Not to be cynical, but she's seated in First Class. In my experience, there is usually one flight attendant for first class and one or more other ones for coach. On that plane may only be 15 first class passengers that need to be taken care of by that flight attendant.

I would like to think that this would have happened in coach too, but those flight attendants are a lot more busy.

Still, very nicely done to that flight attendant. Delta, give that flight attendant a raise!

edit to add: My goodness the disbelief in these being first class makes me think you haven't flown on commercial airplanes very much. Here's a map of that type of jet (which @zainitopia@lemmy.world correctly pointed out is a CRJ-900. A small regional jet Delta flies. The flight attendant is sitting on the floor in aisle 4. Here's a seat map showing all TWELVE of the First Class seats on this plane

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

That's a pretty cheap looking first class. It doesn't even have in flight entertainment!

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Probably a small regional plane. Embraer E-175 maybe? Those flights are usually an hour or so.

[–] zainitopia@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Looks like Delta's Bombardier CRJ 900 to me, no?

[–] CosmicFjord@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Yes, this is indeed a CRJ-900 operated by Endeavor Air (9E) as shown on the safety information card in the seat pocket.

Propably got fired after this for not being strapped in during take off and landing

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (4 children)

It didn't say he held her hand the entire flight.

You can take that sentence about 6 different ways depending on which word you emphasize.
