I love that video - it exemplifies the so much of the idiocy that is spewn around here.

It implies that since you're flying, nothing else matters, no matter how bad it is. Or at least that's how people use the video.
It does not imply that nothing else matters, it does imply that before crying tears about not getting something served (meal, drink, blanky, whatever in five minutes or less) that it is a good idea to pause, breathe, relax and have some perspective.

Who cares if you're in a serious car accident? You were driving along paved roads at 100km/h in a metal tube. You can't have everything.
Exactly, you *can't* have everything - no matter how much you may want it.

You might as well shut FT down, because by your definition, every FF problem is a first world problem.
Maybe that's not such a bad suggestion after all.
