 The article discusses how packed planes are becoming a safety concern. Experts question whether having so many people in close proximity increases the risk of accidents and health issues. Some argue that it's not just about comfort but also about safety, as passengers may be more likely to get injured or sick due to the cramped conditions. Others point out that airlines are prioritizing profits over passenger well-being. The article mentions examples of flights where passengers were forced to sit in tight spaces, leading to discomfort and even injuries. It highlights the need for stricter regulations and better design standards to ensure passenger safety and comfort.
