The Life Saving Lesson From the Toronto Plane Crash

Despite the recent plane crashes that have made lots of bad news the last several weeks, the story of the Delta Airlines passenger get that flipped upside down in Toronto after crash landing turned out to be a good story, considering what could have happened, with everyone on board miraculously surviving.

And maybe it was a miracle but as the reports into what happened come and the experts offer up explanations…one particular post on the Reddit social media app may have been one of the most important things we’ve heard about the Toronto crash.

The post said this: “The last flight I was on, a guy across the aisle from me unbuckled his seatbelt when we were probably 100 feet off the ground and about to touch down” with the post continuing, “You wore it the entire flight, but just couldn't deal with it for another minute during the most dangerous part of the flight?”

What that guy said on Reddit is something we should all remember. And now when flight attendants tell everyone to stay in their seats until the plane gets to the gate, more passengers likely will now do what they say.
