On June 14, 2024, at 5:35 p.m., according to SET News, many people have the experience of flying abroad.

A senior flight attendant from the UK suggested that it is the correct practice to take off shoes on the plane and further advised against wearing certain colored socks, acknowledging it as 'a rather troublesome situation.' The flight attendant emphasized the importance of passengers wearing light-colored socks when taking their shoes off during flight to prevent accidents, particularly at night, as dark-colored socked-foot extended into the aisle can be a hazard.

Recently, an urban myth has been circulating online, suggesting not to refuel after an earthquake due to the violent shaking of oil tanks stirring up sediment. However, CPC responded that post-earthquake inspections focus on machinery functioning and are unrelated to oil quality. In reality, earthquakes have minimal impact on oil quality as there are filtration processes from the inlet to the fuel dispensers. Taiwan FactCheck Center has debunked myths related to gas stations, clarifying that underground oil tanks have insulation, refueling in liters or amounts may slightly vary due to rounding, and refueling to a whole number still means adding oil, not air.
