A crew member on a British Airways flight accidentally played an emergency message warning passengers that the plane they are on is about to turn into a submarine.

“This is an emergency. We may shortly need to make an emergency landing underwater on water.”

How could something like that happen by accident? A passenger told The Sun that “the pilot hit the wrong button because they were so close together.” Guess it’s not just Japanese sumo players who have fat fingers and have trouble pressing only one button at a time.

And if you’re thinking that an event like this is harmless, imagine having to fly the rest of the way with half the passengers needing a change of shorts. Not to mention that the anticipation of death is probably worse than death itself.
