#1: Keep an Eye Out
I’d never noticed it until this question pointed it out, but if you think about it, it is kind of weird that the flight attendants have you open all the windows before you begin your takeoff or landing. I think I always assumed it was because they wanted them all open for the next flight that got on, and it was easier to have the passengers do it than for them to go through and open them all.
But apparently, that is not the case and there’s more important reasoning behind this. Apparently, flight attendants are relying on passengers to let them know if they see something crazy going on outside. Next time I’m in a window seat, I’m going to take my engine fire spotting responsibilities very seriously.
