First of all good on the security guard that Sunshine encountered

Secondly, ever hear about that NZ man Barry Small, who is one of the very few people to have survived a 1997 plane crash in Guam?
I watched a documentary a few months ago and Mr Small is convinced that there would have been more survivors if duty free alcohol in overhead lockers had been stored more safely. Most passengers were burnt to a crisp.
Mr Small knows a lot about aircraft but at the time the documentary was made, airlines still weren't listening.

"New Zealand helicopter pilot Barry Small who was also a survivor reportedly stated a year later on July 30, 1998 that between the initial impact and leaving the plane he "saw a fire initiate within the aircraft fuselage involving alcohol from smashed duty-free spirit bottles coming free from overhead lockers and oxygen flowing from the ruptured aircraft supply lines."
