Re: SWISS cabin crew in trouble for taking selfies on a 777 wing

What is the concern? Is it damaging to the aircraft? High heels would likely create indents on the top of the wing, potentially disrupting airflow over the wing, reducing lift, and ultimately risking the lives of 300+ pax as the 777-300ER fails to gain altitude and ending in a horrific ball of fire...
