Handout N95 Masks Before Emergency Landing

  (+5, -1)
(+5, -1)

During a crash landing there are 3 most likely outcomes

- Everyone dies

- Everyone survives the landing and everyone evacuates safely

- Everyone survives the landing but some die from smoke inhalation

To minimize fatalities in the 3rd case, I propose all passengers have N95 masks readily available. While this will not fully prevent issues from smoke inhalation, it will provide the following benefits

- Gives everyone few more seconds before they pass out (few seconds could be the difference between life and death)

- Gives everyone many seconds of non-panicked breathing. Preventing panic in emergency situation is priceless.

       Plus also and in addition, in case of closer-than-expected lap-landing contact when the seats debolt during impact, the wearer protects others from toxic diseases they may (un)knowingly be carrying.   

       The unopened seatback N95 will quickly become the Most Stolen* Item from a Plane.

       A certain percentage would wear their mask below their nose and increase their chances of perishing.

       More propaganda please... that's what we all need. That'll fix all this shit for sure   

       Just a bit more propaganda...   

       Yeah you're right. That sort of propagandizing belongs on 4Chan or wherever - not the Halfbakery. Let's all agree on that.

       //in case of closer-than-expected lap-landing contact// - I misread this as "in case of closer-than-expected lap-dancing contact". Mind you, I still don't understand what [SgtTeacup] meant.

       yep, N95's are just for particulates, they won't do a damn thing against the volatiles coming out of combusting polymers. What you need is a smoke hood <link>.
