Ditto, very sad. Based on the comments alone, it's better to turn off electronics to be safe from other passengers regardless of any merit to the authors actions. Although, I feel like not bothering with turning things off now and just put it in my pocket. After all, I get a thrill from risking my life along with a bunch strangers. Yeehaw!!!!

Indeed. The majority of people seem to think it's an insignificant article and that he's endangering their lives by not turning off his iPod.

These are people who are using the internet, and seem to have some technical ability to find their way onto a website and comment on the article.

I am without words.
