Anonymous Answer

If I felt there was a safety threat I would immediately talk to my superior about it whether it's the senior Flight attendant or the captain, or both which is preferred if time permits. we would then figure out the best course of action. I would make sure all passengers are comfortable during the emergency and they know what's going on with my safety announcements. Always keep all parties in the loop, remain calm, and review my flight attendant manual if needed.
