NEW DELHI: Every time you board an aircraft, you hear the standard pre-takeoff announcement of overhead oxygen masks falling in case of fall in cabin pressure. Most passengers feel this will never happen and don't pay attention to it, but a recent Air India flight from Delhi to Mumbai flew all the way with the masks hanging over the heads of passengers.
The bizarre incident, a serious breach of established safety procedures, took place on AI's Boeing 747 as it winged its way from Delhi to Mumbai on February 4. The oxygen masks got deployed automatically once the aircraft was airborne.
