Photos and dancing on the plane's wing: flight attendants risk being fired

Surprised taking pictures and dancing on the wing of an airplane.

The flight attendants of Swiss International Air Lines risk being fired , filmed by a passenger from the terminal as they posed for some photos in Buenos Aires, on a Boeing 777 bound for Zurich.

Swiss Air Lines said in a statement that it has launched an internal investigation and that action will be taken. Michael Pelzer, spokesman for the Swiss national airline: «Safety is our top priority – this applies not only to our passengers but also to our employees – What looks funny in the video is actually life-threatening. The wings of a Boeing 777 are about five meters high. Also, after landing, even in high temperatures, the wings can be covered with ice. A fall from this height onto a hard surface can be devastating."

That's why "crew members are not allowed to get on the wings, except in an emergency." Again: «This behavior does not comply with our safety standards, nor does it reflect the high professionalism of our employees».
