Baggage Compartment Contents
Maybe you’re someone who enjoys watching them load on the luggage into the plane’s cargo hold. If so, you might have seen an oddly-shaped box. Well, it isn’t just baggage loaded into the commercial airline’s underbelly. Sometimes, human remains (‘HR’ on the radios) also are among the freight shipped via planes. If someone dies abroad, this is the way their remains are repatriated.
Dim Lights
You may have mistakenly thought that the dimmed lights were just an atmospheric choice. Well the reason they dim them during take-off and landing have to do with those crucial times being prone to accidents. With a dark cabin, one’s eyes would be able to quickly adjust to a lack of light if an emergency occurred. Also that means the lit emergency signs and pathway is more visible. In case of any emergency, the faster people are able to orient themselves, the better the outcome.
