The Liquids Ban - An Aviation Rule Origin Story
Manage episode 498386041 series 3554258
It's been nearly 19 years to the day since we have had restrictions on taking liquids through onto the aircraft. Almost 2 decades of decanting our toiletries into small containers, of getting held up because we forgot to empty our water bottles, and countless expensive bottles of perfume have no doubt been confiscated. For pilots and flight attendants, it changed the way we work!
Do you remember why though? It's something we are so used to now that many of us don't remember what led us to that place. And it all started in the UK. A local terrorist plot that had consequences worldwide and changed aviation and travel forever.
In today's episode of The Red Eye, we have a dramatization of the events of that day. The day that the liquids were banned on planes.
