Brace for Impact
Brace for impact! The commands from the flights attendants are insistent and cannot be misunderstood. Emer-gency! Open your safety belts! Put on your life vests! Out! Thick fog seeps into the cabin. There is no time left to think. In this year’s Crossing Europe trailer, Leni Gruber accompanies participants in a flight safety training and shows a simu-lated crash landing in documentary foot-age. Rehearsal for the emergency.
