Ever wonder why planes dim the cabin lights right before takeoff and landing? Most of us just assume it’s for vibes — like, setting the mood for your overpriced Biscoff cookies and baby water bottle. But nope… turns out it’s way more serious (and a little scary). 😳
According to SimpleFlying.com, the lights are dimmed so your eyes can adjust to the dark — in case there’s an emergency and you have to evacuate fast. Yep, not exactly comforting.
Takeoff and landing are the riskiest parts of any flight — that’s when most accidents happen. So, if the plane loses power or you need to get out quickly, your eyes are already ready to see in low light, and those glowing “Exit” signs will pop like neon beacons. 🚪💡
So, next time you’re buckled in and the lights go down, just know… it’s not for comfort. It’s for chaos prep. 😬
Sleep tight on that next red-eye! 🛫💀
