Alaska Airlines: New 80s inspired safety Dance promo

Talk about lighter than air, but we all deserve a good distraction in these times.

Here’s something to give you a dose of joy for at least a minute.

The promo resurrects the 1982 Men Without Hats single “Safety Dance,” casting 10 real Alaska Airlines employees promoting the safety measures that make up Alaska’s ‘Next-Level Care’.

This is another timely reminder to wear your seatbelt when seated. Holding you close to your seat will protect you from the sort of injuries sustained on this flight, when unsecured passengers flew to the ceiling of the aircraft, and then came crashing down once the ‘drop’ ceased.

The hope will be that this is an anomaly – a ‘freak accident’ in casual parlance. If it is a systemic error either mechanical or electronic, then this is a larger concern for the airlines that fly Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft. Let’s hope it isn’t. If it is, it will pile on the woes to Boeing’s existing stack.

Back to work everyone. You’ve had your fun.
