Un-noticed

Ever wondered why the aircrew asks you to open the window shades during take off and landing when we are struggling to get some sleep after a tiresome travel?

Ever wondered what the plane windows is a rounded triangle or circle instead of fancy shapes?

Why does the cabin light dim during take off?

What does the tiny triangle above the window in plane mean?

Do you think the oxygen masks deployed in cabin in case of emergency “actually” gives you oxygen?

and many more…….

In a busy world full of pressure and insufficient time, we often overlook over the tiniest details and the reason why it is implemented so. Let’s unveil the reason behind each of these in “UnNoTiced”

Bio-hack

Every-time you board a flight, you always get to hear the cliche precautionary measure if the cabin pressure drops. Well it might not sound interesting neither during usage nor when they say. We might have seen several Hollywood expedition movies wherein the protagonists carry bulky oxygen cylinders to meet their oxygen requirements....

So....do flights have bulky cylinders for each one of us to supply oxygen? Or do they even supply oxygen to us ? Are we getting bio hacked?

Wait....Wait don't get puzzled by the word bio hack, but we are actually getting bio hacked in the above case

Oxygen masks can be made with chemicals that you'd never want to breathe anytime soon. Your "passenger service unit" actually uses a cocktail of chemicals, which are usually stowed in an overhead oxygen generator. When you pull down on the mask, you're releasing those overhead chemicals -- commonly sodium perchlorate and iron oxide. The reaction is highly exothermic and produces oxygen. If anyone had experience with this, they might have felt a burning smell and some chemical dust upon usage....Chemical dust???What about my health? You might feel....Well it is absolutely fine rather than the other alternative of passing out without oxygen and moreover, it is not hazardous to our health.

This shot of oxygen lasts only for 15 min, which according to FAA will be sufficient enough for the plane crew to land or react accordingly. So, next time when you listen cabin crew saying this, "notice the UnNoTiced"
