Dawn - The Pilot
On my flight back to the USA from Australia I sat in the hump on a Boeing 747. Before we took off, I went to the toilet, which is located right near the cockpit on this aircraft. I poked my head in to say hello and they invited me to take a quick look around.
Apparently there are at least two of every button, and in some cases up to 4. Nice to know there are several backups! One of the pilots also mentioned that if one of the four engines were to go out we wouldn’t even know it in the back.

Luckily, we landed safely in the USA after 13 hours in the air. No backups needed, I hope.
