Child safety seats should be required in airliners, five flight
attendants who survived last week's DC-10 crash in Iowa agreed
Friday.
"They certainly do it in cars. I don't know why they don't do
it on planes," said Janice Brown, lead attendant on Chicago-bound
United Flight 232, which crashed near Sioux City. "We really do need
child restraints."
Brown had told parents to wrap their infants in blankets and
hold them to the floor during impact. Nonetheless, the impact threw
some babies in the air. One of the four infants on board was
killed.
