Came out of 'somwhere in Spain' the other day. Some passengers responded to a PA and came clean that their cigarettes were in their baggage in the hold with the lighters still attached.
All the procedures FAILED to bring the dangers of these lighters to the passengers' attention - apart from the switched-on Cabin Crew.
The aircraft baggages holds were unloaded and the particular items identified and handed in.
While this was going on, a further 100 or so were collected from passengers sat in their seats!!
What is going on? Does there have to be a 'body-count' before big organisations like government bodies get involved?
Why can't the Press who are purported to monitor Prune, get hold of THIS one and do everyone a favour?
I suppose for them, its more newsworthy if somebody stoofs in with fire in the hold. Far more dramatic, followed by the witch-hunt, and 'the Public have a right to know'.
