In a bizarre incident, passengers on board a US flight were seen desperately fanning themselves to find relief on the plane as the air conditioners failed. However, the most shocking part is when the cabin crew suggest that they meditate to relax. The video goes viral.
In another bizarre incident, passengers on a US flight found themselves frantically fanning with in-flight manuals and magazines after the aircraft's air conditioning system failed, all while sweltering at 130¡ãF (54¡ãC). Amidst this unusual practice, the cabin crew suggested the passengers meditate to feel relaxed. The video is currently doing the rounds on social media and has gone viral.
The now-viral clip is shared by a TikTok user @brigchicago, who captured the stifling chaos in the cabin as passengers try to stay cool.
However, what truly infuriated the passengers was the cabin crew's suggestion to meditate in the middle of the air to feel calm.

The suggestion left the passengers confused and angry, as the meditation suggestion didn't sit well with many of them. One is even heard mocking the advice in the video, exclaiming, ¡°Are you serious right now?¡±

As soon as the video surfaced on social media, it quickly went viral, and one user on Reddit said, "That is my hell. I find normal planes stuffy and nearly unbearable."
One added, "It is so hard to deal with for real..horrible experience."
While one shared his experience, "I spent 30 minutes on a Panamanian tarmac without AC one time. After that I ALWAYS bring one of those portable fans and fill a water bottle past security. Never again."
"I had a flight delayed for hours becuase the A/C broke and it was "too hot to allow anyone on board." It still sucked once on but i cant imagine what it was like before," another complained.
