Since the scene from 'Airplane' was mentioned. Remember the utter chaos that happened in the scene right after Julie Hagerty asks if anyone knows how to fly a plane. Passengers are screaming, and running up n' down the aisle of the airplane.
I am thinking of others. Above the din of the chaos. Despite my (physical)health issues. Remember that I know CPR, First Aid, setting a tourniquet for a broken arm leg, and the Heimlich Maneuver. With your emotionally ignorant thinking. Maybe I should just ignore someone who is having a heart attack, having trouble breathing from choking, is bleeding profusely, or needs a splint for a broken arm/leg.

You're aware that the melodrama and satire was the point of the movie, correct?
You're aware that it's just a movie?

Sounds to me like you came here to argue. Your initial posts were of someone who knows very little to nothing, asking a theoretical, and for some clarification. You received it in spades. You argued with some of it. Your posts are halted, broken, with periods in mid sentence, yet some of your posts are quite the opposite. I get the distinct feeling that your visit here wasn't to learn, but to play games. That may be best done elsewhere.
