Ok, so there was no Airplane Corrosion of interest this week, so I thought I would substitute it with a picture of the inside of the PSU (passenger service unit) which is in fact the panel above your head that houses the lights(far right), air vents (center, connected to the orange tube), and the compartment that holds the dangly yellow oxygen masks that come down if there is a "sudden loss of cabin pressure". I have witnessed the sight of all those masks falling down while tests of the system are being run, and its actually quite comical....The shitty part is that they all have to be rolled back up in a certain way so they fall down without getting tangled, and they have to be rolled tight enough to fit in that small compartment....Frustrating, but we do it with a smile, for it is after all, for the safety and well being of You, our beloved flying public!!
