ELI5: Why are we supposed to open the window shutters during landing and take-off on an airplane?
gpt
In the event of a crash there might not be any electrical lights inside and it might become very dark. Also when the shutters are open passengers inside the airplane can look outside to orient themselves and decide the best way to evacuate. And emergency crew on the outside is also able to look inside the aircraft to see if there are any smoke or fire inside the cabin and more effectively direct their attention to where it is needed.
