All I can say to the ignorant few is, by all means ignore advice and do your own thing. Just don't expect to be able to sue the airline for your own negligence.

Fortunately, I was wearing my seatbelt.

Just goes to show that a bit of commonsense is missing in all cultures.

Originally posted by Cyberman View PostIt's commonsense that if a person is sitting they wear their seatbelt. I always keep mine buckled when I am in my seat, regardless of where the plane is. Many people sleep without their seatbelts, and this is plainly stupidity, as dangerous turbulence can happen at any time.
The article states that the plane was circling, and thus it is obvious that it is due to land. Thus, passengers should be in their seats with seatbelts fastened.
