Current Events > imagine being stuck in a 8 hour ride plane with a kid screaming non stop

(+) Yeah! (+)

A passenger has documented his nightmarish flight after a demonic child screamed for the entire eight-hour trip.

The footage shows the three-year-old climbing over seats and screaming before the flight from Germany to New York had even taken off.

The video was uploaded to YouTube by Shane Townley who wrote: Watch as this kid runs and screams throughout the entire flight while the mother does little to nothing to stop him. 3 years old on a 8 hour flight from Germany to Newark NJ. He never quits!

Now most people could understand that being in a plane might be stressful for a young child and it could take him a while to settle down.

But it eventually became clear to passengers that this kid wasnt going to be happy sitting down and watching a movie, as he continued his rampage for nearly the whole trip.

It is unclear from the video whether the has behavioural issues and there is no indication that the mum informed other passengers that he suffering from any condition that may have resulted in his distress.

At one point the child is seen sitting on top of the seats and banging on the ceiling of the plane as his mum tries to get him to sit down.

Throughout the hourly updates passengers can be seen covering their ears as the child continues to scream at the top of his lungs.

What is a person to do in that situation? Im not even joking im genuinely curious what the proper course of action would be.

Well I suppose it's better than kids kicking the back of your seat or grabbing/pulling your hair...

Flush.

Sucks for everyone. There's not a ton you can do as a parent there. As a note, i didn't read the article, but I'm just assuming this kid is less than 2 or 3

Back in the Victorian era I think they used to dampen rags with whisky or opium, I can't remember which, to calm little toddlers and babies down by letting them suck on them IIRC.

It's more humane than out through the airlock, at least.

I don't think you can access the cargo hold or open an airlock while on a commercial flight, unless you plan on just opening the door and dealing with the crazy air pressure issues that happen if you do that (according to movies)
