Worse Eight Hour Flight Ever
I think the people on an eight hour flight from Germany to New Jersey have one of the best stories.
A kid screamed like a demon during the entire flight. it really does sound like a horror movie. You can watch the video at the bottom of this post if you don't believe me.
This happened in August, but is getting more traction on line now. The video tag line says the incident unfolded because the kid was addicted to technology and couldn't always have it, but I think more was going on.
This kid has problems. Screaming like that for a full eight hours? And climbing all over the seats and even people? Geesh!
Yes, we should be sympathetic to children who might have some sort of mental illness, but this still had to be The Worst for the rest of the people on the plane. I honestly don't know if the parents could have done their parenting job better, or that the kid might have autism or something else that made him uncontrollable.
This is only my opinion, but judging from the video, it didn't help that the mom seemed to try only half-heartedly to get the boy under control. On some flights, I've had to deal with slightly unruly kids from time to time, but this is so out of control. My sympathies to the people who had to go through this.
Here's the video:
