Mid-air Scare: Man Films Cabin Window Coming Off During Flight - JPKee.com

Chile, Nov 24: A terrifying video of displaying straight negligence on a London airlines part went viral on social media. A man filmed a video of himself pulling the frame of an aircraft’s window. Seeing that it was easily coming off, he slowly pushed it back into its frame. The video was posted on Reddit with a caption “Should I be concerned or…?”. The video was shot over Chile on November 20.

Speaking to Dailystar, the passenger said, “It was a low-cost airline. The window was totally off its frame. I found it funny and recorded the video with my cellphone.”

The video caused a massive outrage after it surfaced online. One of the users said that even if a little window remains open, the cabin will lose pressure which, he said, is a risk to the passengers and the crew.

Clearing the issue, a pilot Patrick Smith said that there was no safety risk. “It’s just a superficial liner that helps protect the actual window. I admit that it looks embarrassing and unprofessional, but there’s no safety risk.” he said.

Chief Executive of the UK Flight Safety Commitee told Daily Mail that it was a “piece of loose cabin trim. “This is definitely not a safety concern. The internal window is there to protect the main glass from scratches and it cuts down some of the internal noise as well as providing an element of thermal insulation,” he said, adding, “The external window is fixed to the hull and sealed with a gasket so that the interior of the aircraft can be pressurised, so this loose trim will have had no effect at all apart from not looking particularly neat and tidy.”
