What Happens if You DON'T Pull The Oxygen Mask Dropped in Front of You in Planes

  • Have you ever wondered how oxygen masks on airplanes work? How do they drop automatically during cabin pressure drops and how are they able to produce oxygen? Emergency oxygen supply on planes is made possible through the use of oxygen canisters that are stored above passenger seats. These canisters do not contain oxygen, but rather a few chemical compounds that react with each other to produce oxygen, which is then passed through the oxygen masks to reach passengers.
    You are asked to tug on the mask to start the flow of oxygen because that tugging action triggers a small explosion which starts the chemical reaction which ultimately produces the oxygen that is then supplied through the oxygen masks. This video will explain how these oxygen masks drop automatically, how oxygen is produced, and why you need to tug on the masks to initiate the supply.

    Wow, this video is of exceptional quality!
    It’s both informative and easy to grasp!

    Unlike most other passenger aircraft, the Boeing 787 actually has oxygen cylinders for each passenger seat row, lavatory and galley, rather than oxygen generators as seen in this video.

    So little pieces of smoke energy are inside one field and all these little pieces that make up this field are different condensities so when they collide they can pack into each other...
    Becoming more condensed in pulling on the second field that's around the first field condensing it because it compacts into that space because it connects then what we see from gravitation anyway...
    Is the field being created by the first field when it becomes condense enough to condense the second field it also pulls in other little pieces...
    From its field that are different condensities.... Creating a field around the graviton that acts like an electromagnetic field....👽😇🤣🙄😜...Basically the reason we see everything I talked about in the other videos... Or audios... Is whenever you get closer to a field of gravity .... Other gravitational pulls become more condensed because the other gravitational field starts to condense it more and we can say this happens because they're different little pieces.... condensing the other gravity around it pulling in the object...

    3:43 No, Depressurization is not rare if you are traveling in Boeing😂

    This isn't true, they're there to appease until the pax pass out because if you're going down, you're probably not walking away

    Aaaaaand you didn’t answer the question in the title.

      Yes he did. Like 3 and half minutes in he says if you don't "tug" (which is what the word "pull" in the title is referring to) then it won't pull the pin that causes the mini explosion to start the chemical reaction that gives you oxygen. I guess you were expecting him to answer the title question by explaining what happens if the plane depressurizes and you aren't breathing in oxygen which causes delirium, then passing out before you finally pass away.

      @@caput_in_astrisYup he did, 2:08, he said pulled towards not tug, but it's the same, releases the firing pin to start the oxygen.

    Almost all of your videos are very vague and repetitive nonsense
