"Rubber jungle" nghĩa là gì?

'Rubber jungle' = rừng cao su -> là thuật ngữ trong ngành hàng không, phi công và tiếp viên nói với nhau, khi mặt nạ dưỡng khí bung ra trong khoang máy bay.

Ví dụ
Unconscious (bất tỉnh, ngất; không biết, không ý thức) pilots (phi công) and passengers (hành khách), a rubber jungle of oxygen masks and a plane unresponsive to all communication: That was the horror sight that greeted two fighter pilots who flew close to a Boeing passenger jet on a summer morning in 2005.

Like vines flanking a path through a jungle, oxygen masks hung from rows of tubes on Jet Airways flight 9W 697 this morning, and an improbable (không chắc sẽ xảy ra, đâu đâu) nightmare (cơn ác mộng) inspired by pre-flight safety briefings (hướng dẫn ngắn) came true. The root cause, sources say, was an error by the crew; they forgot to activate a "bleed" switch, causing a drop (giảm) in cabin pressure (áp suất) inside the Boeing 737-800 plane. A rubber jungle of bags, tubes and masks descended. Around 30 passengers bled (chảy máu) from their ears (tai) and noses (mũi).
