Q

LRBL

A

Least Risk Bomb Location
If found on aircraft F/A’s work together to put in LRBL:
Use Safety Info. Card to slide under and carry “bomb” to AFT Galley Door (Boeing designed this door to blow out purposely)
Place on top of Slide Bussle,
Remove/Collect POB and any safety equip that you may be able to use.
Begin piling hard shell luggage and then soft shell luggage around the trussle and bomb
Add wet clothing
Seat cushions
And then plastic bags and then use ties, belts, etc… to secure the LRBL.
If it detonates, it is designed to take out the door and then hopefully can save the pax and plane.
unwrap oxygen mask cord and then place close to bomb so that the mask portion is dangling (but this would let know investigators know where the bomb originated if it exploded)
