The dude in seat 20H should have stayed where he was.

"in-lap" is a typo. The stewardesses made everyone put their babies on the floor under the seat, as was protocol at the time. There's video on youtube of the stewardess weeping now that she knows that was a mistake.

I can't process such random horror. Maybe it's just more disarming when you line up peoples mortality in rows and columns.

But it's all for show. Seatbelts on a motorcycle, basically. If they really cared about passenger safety, the seats would face backwards.
