Be careful what buttons you push.. (Aer Lingus flight accidently sounds ditch alarm)

15/09/2009 by Kevincm

Sometimes, we’re too button heavy in life. Pressing buttons is fun!

Well.. be careful what buttons you press if you’re 35,000ft in the air.

An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Paris CDG was 20 minutes into flight when the seatbelt sign was switched on and passengers were requested to return to their seats due to turbulence. The automated French version way played… which wasn’t the return to seat – but stand by for emergency landing

Ooops.  Obviously there was announcement a few minutes later, but

The odd thing that this has been held back since the 4th August.  Thankfully, no one hurt and just rattled.

Next time, when you press a button – be careful eh? And remember if there’s a button infront of you that’s inviting…
