Why do we have to put up our window shades when an airplane is taking off?

KK Oz
In the event of a crash on takeoff or landing, rescuers can see where passengers are located and the extent of internal damage so they can plan where to start their rescue operations.

I didn't realize we were supposed to. I don't always do it and I don't think I've ever been asked.

That's so that you can see when you're in the air. Actually I've run into directly opposite on long flights. When it starts getting dark, the stewardess wants you to pull down the shades.

So you can make sure the plane gets off the ground...haha

Not sure who told you that.

KK Oz was only partially correct. The main reason is so your eyes will be adjusted to the outside light in case you must evacuate in an emergency you won't be blinded by the bright day light during the day, and will have your "night vision" when it's dark.

Your eyes take, on average, 25-30 minutes to adjust from lighted environment to darkness. If you pay attention, the cabin lights are turned off at night and are on during the day for take off and landing. Again, this is so your eyes are adjusted to the ambient light outside.

So that in case of an emergency evacuation you'd see what's the outside condition like in a glance. And yes, that's also why the cabin lights are dimmed.

because the slighest bit of air in the plane from outside will ruin the whole flight..DONT open your window or you will literally die....
