This image features a close-up view of an airplane safety instruction card. The card is divided into multiple panels, each containing illustrations and instructions for various safety procedures. These include how to use an oxygen mask, how to inflate a life vest, and the correct brace positions in case of an emergency. The illustrations are colorful and designed to be easily understandable, using a combination of images and minimal text to communicate critical safety information. The overall layout is designed for quick reference, catering to passengers' needs during an emergency.
