        And post this photo, showing everyone wearing their oxygen masks incorrectly. (Over mouth AND nose, folks.) But, hey, being frustrated by inflight wifi's inability to connect you to Facebook Live in the potential final moments of your life is way more important.

        Thank goodness for the flight crew and the safety of the other passengers. But you are supposed to place the oxygen mask over your nose and mouth.

        WHY? I mean the last thing I would be thinking is wifi. I would be thinking of ways not to die. I would be googling how to survive a plane crash.

        He would still have to pay $8 for Wi-Fi so he could Google that.

        I would’ve spent that time ensuring my fellow passengers were ok but you do you. My initial instinct wouldn’t be to go to FB.
