Manchester United Stars Help Out In Turkish Airlines Safety Demonstration Video

Nobody pays attention to air safety talks. Why? Because everyone knows if their plane was really about to crash, the only thing they will be doing is panicking, praying and cursing their back luck.

Besides the bored cabin crew are just going through the motions. After all, we have endured so many of them already, we probably know it all backwards. Well, at least we think we do. 

So it is just as well that Turkish Airlines has enlisted the help of the stars of Premier League champions Manchester United - arguably the biggest club in the world - to point out where the nearest exits are before take-off.

Well, I say, 'stars of Manchester United, but what I really mean is 'Manchester United stars and Chris Smalling'. But you get the point. 

The video (below) has been created as part of Turkish Airlines' ongoing sponsorship of Manchester United and is certainly worth a watch.

The timing could also not be better, with the Red Devils due to play Barcelona in the Champions League final tomorrow at Wembley.

It is officially the second best air safety demo behind Richard Simmons' ad for Air New Zealand. The video, distributed by social video advertising platform Unruly Media, racked up over 2 million views.
