Passengers alarmed after pilot announces to brace for water landing

Passengers onboard a Spirit Airlines flight Sunday from Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Fort Lauderdale were instructed by the crew to prepare for a possible water landing.

It's beyond me how people can sound so ungrateful instead of saying thanks to God and the pilot's safe landing 🤔

Pilots prepared the passengers for all possibilities. Good work!

The passengers who landed in the Hudson River are forever grateful but these people are haunted? Must be the spirit lol

See that's the problem now, the pilot did everything he could do to inform the passengers and still landed safely but instead of being thankful they didn't land in the Atlantic Ocean everyone is giving off "I'm going to hire an attorney and sue" vibes.

That’s why you pay attention when the flight attendants do their safety overview.

That pilot followed all protocols he mad two announcements one for the passengers letting them know that everything was going to be alright. The second announcement was for the crew to prepare the cabin just in case they couldn’t make it back to Montego Bay. You have to realize the two pilot were busy trying to go through their checklist also fly the plane and work the radios to get back as safely as possible. For the people who were onboard don’t complain and thank those two pilots for getting you back into Montego on the ground safely. Be blessed and thank instead of complaining

This was a stretch for a story… the pilot landed safely despite mechanical issues, passengers want to take advantage of the situation.

[presto]

Sounds like the flight crew did their job.

At least the pilot made it safely on ground.

I have no sympathy for people who always feels the need to go on camera for social media attention. The pilot said just "prepare" as a precaution...and everyone is acting all dramatic like the actually landed in the ocean. People are just so desperate for social media attention. "Oh im was so scared...so let me record myself talking about it so i can post it on social media for attention"🙄😒🙄😒

People saying that crew was incompetent and they should be getting more need to sit down and quit being so ungrateful! Your “incompetent crew” landed you safely on land and you’re alive!

[SL-lzjr]

This pilot exercised caution. Ungrateful passengers in light of all the recent plane issues. Better safe than sorry. Also, every flight is a potential emergency landing!

What part of “Do not inflate the life vest until out of the aircraft” didn’t she understand?

[SyriusStarMultimedia]

Don't Spirit flights come with a complimentary water landing and one bad acting passenger?

[ESUNintel]

So are they annoyed that they didn’t get to experience a water landing? That one lady even took the time to prep her phone and start recording after getting the life jacket on. …story sounds negative; should be thanking the pilots and crew instead.

Pilots and Doctors have one thing in common. They do their job but God does the miracles and healings.

Never a dull day on Spirit. At least they get a food credit.

[stickynorth]

There's always that chance. Be emotionally prepared for anything while flying... ESPECIALLY on Spirit!

[crissiejamlinks-gqhz]

People will be scared now. Wow! I'm happy everyone landed safely.
