It may be time to rethink the Western trend of humorous and irreverent video safety briefings. Clearly JAL is doing something right.
Really glad that all of the Japan Airlines pax and crew seem to have survived the crash.
But I'm not surprised to hear that it was an orderly evacuation. JAL is able to board widebody aircraft in 10-15 mins as pax are so considerate.
Also JAL plays this every safety briefing:

The movie is funny from the outset because it writes Ken in the same way Hollywood often writes women - without agency, vacuous and requiring constant validation. If he thinks the way Ken is written is man-hating then what does he think of the rest of Hollywood’s writing?

Tipping in the USA is part of the culture, for better or worse. Not tipping as a visitor is bad form; it only harms the employee, and it isn’t up to you, as a guest in a country, to be an activist to try and change its culture.
these european bastards said “sorry we don’t tip”, laughed, and walked out.

The government is completely finished and they have no ideas left.

In its place we’ll reinvest every penny in hundreds of new transport projects in the North, Midlands, and across the country.
That's a £36 billion investment. Every region bar London gets the same or more than under HS2, with quicker results🧵

There literally isn’t the railway capacity to do this. Build HS2 - in full, and with a direct link to Heathrow - and then do this.
It's no quicker to fly between London and Edinburgh than take the train, and the CO2 savings are immense: 165kg by air, 12.5kg by train.
We're asking the UK gov to remove flight routes with a 4.5 hr train alternative. Please sign 👉
