In-flight incidents continue to fuel anxiety among aerophobic, but not all cases are life-threatening. A recent TikTok video shared by a netizen with the username Erni Bougas highlighted a concerning episode on her domestic flight back to Kuala Lumpur.
In the video, a mysterious fog or smoke gradually filled the cabin, causing panic among passengers. Initially, the fog seemed harmless, but as it increased, people started coughing, raising concerns for the safety of children and elderly passengers. Speculating that the fog might be caused by a storm outside, the passenger later learned that it was water vapour from the plane's air humidifier.
Despite the alarming situation, the cabin crew handled it professionally, ensuring everyone remained calm. The aircraft landed safely, much to the relief of the passengers. The video quickly went viral, prompting netizens to share their thoughts on the incident.
At the time of writing, there have been no official statements from local airlines regarding the incident. Nonetheless, the video serves as a reminder that safety precautions and crew training play crucial roles in handling unexpected situations during flights.
While flying can be stressful for some, it is essential to acknowledge that not all on-flight incidents lead to danger. Proper response and preparedness by airline staff can make a significant difference in ensuring a safe and pleasant journey for all passengers.
