Last but not least: Long live the 80s
The airline Delta has produced a safety video with an "80s" theme. Even frequent flyers are likely to watch it again.
It's a familiar story: the safety instructions at the start of the flight don't really get anyone out of their seats. This is not only due to the fact that most passengers already have their seatbelts fastened. Experienced passengers are even conspicuous by their absence when it is explained for the hundredth time how to pull the oxygen mask over their nose in an emergency. In the event of an emergency, it would be very useful if everyone knew what to do.
To ensure that the instructions finally get the attention they deserve, airlines have long since started to package them in entertaining videos. A welcome side effect: if the films meet the public's taste, they become highly regarded free commercials on the Internet. Air New Zealand achieved major viral success with the "Lord of the Rings" security filmThe video generated over 11 million clicks on YouTube. Virgin also landed a million hit with the help of pop and YouTube star Todrick Hall: "Safety Dance". Thomson Airways was already shooting in 2009 Instruction with children instead of adults.
The list is long and Delta has now added an instant hit to it. The airline ignites five minutes of 80s fireworks. As a highlight, even series legend Alf makes a brief appearance. By now at the latest, everyone should be aware of the oxygen masks. (hae)
