This was making the
rounds and I figured I’d chime in.
This guy ,a passenger on an Alaska
Airlines flight from
mayhem (OK, it wasn’t this bad). People are wondering whether they are going to live. And this guy, Jeremy Hermanns of
One of his shots include a close-up of his
face, oxygen mask in place. The plane landed safely, and everyone was OK, so the guy runs home and posts the picture
and blogs about the experience. Big deal, right? You’re actually kinda happy the guy made it. But some folks
are all bent out of shape about the whole thing. Hermanns blog became the verbal battleground for a whole assortment of
people who wrote that by pulling out his camera (an electronic device) he endangered people on the plane. And that he
was "a big cry-baby trying to make a big deal out of an emergency descent and precautionary landing." Tsk
tsk. People. So uptight.
Anyway, it was a big enough story that it
landed on USA Today. I just
thought it was cool for him to make the posts. And at least he was clear-headed enough to do something other than freak
out.
