I called it a lot of bad words the last time I opened the compartment door and it fell on me.

“Items in the overhead bins may have shifted during flight”

So question, did someone forget to latch them down with that stretchy latch thing or did that stretchy latch thing just give up (I have no idea what the actual term for that securing device is)

The stretchy latch thing gave up. Then I rearranged all the stuff so they wouldn’t fall out anymore—then my favorite guy on the next shift opened the same door and a strut fell on him. I booby-trapped him accidentally.

It’s a reserve unit so we won’t have to suffer much longer with it.
