British Airways message error warns passengers of crash - Telegraph
How do these emergency announcements go out? Are they automated? Are they control in the cockpit by the flight crew? I've heard of this happening before, and was just wondering. Did someone in the cockpit hit a wrong button?
Should automated messages be removed to keep panic from happening when something like this happens?
Thoughts?
