“Ladies and gentlemen, in the unlikely event of an emergency, oxygen masks will drop from the bulkhead above you. Pull down firmly and fit the mask over your nose and mouth and breathe normally. Please note, even when the oxygen is flowing freely, the bag will not inflate. Once your mask in place, please help children or the elderly.”
