Pre-recorded emergency announcement was automatically played on the Boeing 777 flight...

Chaos ensued on a recent United Airlines flight following an automated emergency announcement that instructed passengers to put on their oxygen masks, which inadvertently deployed in spite of no danger present.

The unusual incident occurred on a Boeing 777-200 from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., last Wednesday.

While passengers were instructed to wear the oxygen masks, only a few were actually deployed.

...

One person had a panic attack and ran to the aircraft door, presumably to open it," Pitman shared. "None of the flight crew nor cabin crew had ever heard the announcement before, and it was a very odd situation."

...

flight attendants also struggled to contact the pilots through the interphone system.

They should add some Nitrous oxide N₂O to the O₂ Tank. May as well be laughing if you're toast anyway.

"May as well be laughing if you're toast anyway." LOL! My dentist, back in NJ many years ago, used to have the N₂O cart wheeled out while I was in the waiting room, and get me gassed-up 10-15mins before my app't, even for just a cleaning. I loved that place!
