Airplanes,. Foucault, and WALL-E

I just did a paper on WALL-E, and just flew from Paris to HK (which was about 24 hours of traveling in all). Doesn't the airplane setting remind you of something Foucaultian? I mean, honestly, in the style of Ellen Degeneres and her hilarious stand-up skit that I can no longer find, if my seat back isn't in it's full upright position when we land, and we crash, will I DIE?
