On a plane why do they dim the lights when taking off and landing at night?

All changed now, most 'pay at pump' pumps are open all night in an otherwise unmanned station - I guess they just rely on ANPR and CCTV to ensure the money is safe, as for stopping a suicidal lunatic from using the pump as some terrible, admittedly very short range, flame thrower not much use!
How short is "short range"? Was Point Break accurate do you think?

The electric hob ring/element has the conducting wire inside stuff (a metal tube filled with sand I think), but the toaster uses open wires which you can touch with the fork. I think.I've killed about 4 toasters in my time so this information would be useful
Mrs Scouse, for some reason will choke, 2 or 3 times during a Chinese meal on Pak Choi or similar veg.
Bearing this in mind, should the situation become "critical" would my fingers/hands leaving bruising around her neck/throat be enough to convict or could I argue that I was attempting to assist in her expulsion of the object?
