'Plane still moving': Viral Air India video shows passengers 'ignoring' crew; sparks civic sense row
A video from an Air India flight has gone viral, showing several passengers standing and moving around while the plane was still moving, ignoring instructions from the crew.
The video was shared by a passenger who had just landed in Delhi from Bangkok.
It shows people opening overhead bins and walking in the aisle, even though the cabin crew kept asking everyone to stay seated.
The incident has raised concerns about passenger discipline and safety on board.
"Just landed in Delhi from Bangkok on an Air India flight. The plane was still moving, the cabin crew was still strapped, and yet... passengers started standing, opening overhead bins, ignoring every single safety instruction," the passenger wrote while sharing the clip, which was captioned, "Why the world hates us (part 1)."
In the footage, the cabin crew can be heard repeatedly requesting passengers to stay seated as the seatbelt sign was still on. However, the pleas were ignored.
'Cabin crew kept pleading. People kept ignoring. This isn't a lack of awareness. It's a lack of basic civic sense,' the user added in the post.
The video has garnered nearly 4 million views so far, drawing widespread criticism online and sparking a fresh debate about the behaviour of Indian flyers.
'There should be a fine at every level. Only then will people follow rules,' commented one user. Another wrote, 'They will stand for 10 minutes in the aisle to save 15 seconds, and then wait 30 minutes at the baggage belt.'

Nehru Zoo Park to acquire 250+ species, including cheetahs
Hyderabad: A host of new animals are on their way to the Nehru Zoological Park, including several exotic species, according to the Director of NZP, Sunil S Hiremath. Notably, zoo authorities have revealed plans to introduce three cheetahs as part of this expansion. The zoo currently houses 195 species, but the director states that the aim is to increase this number to over 250 within a few months. "Our goal is to create an environment within the zoo where every animal feels safe and comfortable enough to breed. We are already achieving this with several endangered species such as the one-horned rhinoceros — of which the zoo has five — and the Royal Bengal Tiger, with 28 currently in our care," the director said. "We want to continue expanding our collection and acquire animals that will be of interest to visitors. " The zoo has been actively expanding its animal population since the beginning of the year. In April, it received an Indian gazelle, a swamp deer, cheer pheasants, and Siamese crocodiles through exchange programmes with various zoos across the country. Two serval cats were also put on display this past Sunday. According to zoo officials, the first new arrival expected is a wallaby, which is set to reach the zoo within two months, having been procured from a private vendor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Search For Direct Scaffolding Deals Direct Scaffolding Deals | Search Ads Learn More Undo Plans are also in place to expand the primate section, with efforts underway to bring in gorillas, chimpanzees, baboons, hoolock gibbons, and white-handed gibbons, all classified as endangered.

The director said a verbal agreement had been reached to acquire cheetahs from a zoo in Asia in exchange for a one-horned rhinoceros, but it may take some time. "The deal is still in its preliminary stages. So far, discussions have only taken place via a third party, but I am pushing for a direct meeting soon. The enclosure and all facilities to accommodate the cheetahs are in place, we just need to bring them here," he added. If the deal is finalised, Nehru Zoological Park will become only the second zoo in the country, after the Mysore Zoo, to house cheetahs.
