Criticism for the new safety video of Air New Zealand
Auckland - Air New Zealand is known for its special flight safety videos that are shown before the flight. With an ever-changing theme, the airline manages to attract attention, usually in a positive way. But the latest video, which takes place on Antarctica, is not everyone's favorite.

Certainly it is a bad idea to have a safety video with additional entertaining and informative content that people might actually watch!
'tis the day of the professionally offended, where feelz trumps all... How dare they mention airliners in such an insensitive video - and on the very same planet where something else bad happened to an airliner! For sure, grief hurts - but it doesn't help to keep ripping the scab off your own wounds.
That said, it is kind of long and wander-y, though.

I see nothing wrong with the video or it's location. Yes an aircraft crashed there, so do we ban a continent because a plane crashed. I don't mean to be insensitive, but get real folks, maybe we should close any airport where a plane crashed or a highway where someone died because using it for any purpose will offend a family member. Look many have died in plane crashes in Antarctica, life goes on.
Wonderful video - most of them are so boring that they are hard to watch.
Come on people. Yes, it is tragic that a plane crash occurred there many years ago - but the video has nothing to do with that, and was not filmed near the mountain where it occurred....

bravo pour toutes ces videos, et merci!!!!!
So the video is offensive because there was a crash in Antarctica before and Antarctica is where the video was shot??? Oh come on! That was one of the most beautiful and informative safety video I ever seem! I even learnt how to use the damn oxygen mask (I think I would've ripped it off in case I needed it some day, I never imagined it was necessary so less force to pull it, but now I know). The video is informative AND entertaining at the same time.
