It’s a video about a story from around 2024. – [Salty Cracker]
Here’s an article about the practice : Airline passengers baffled by ‘pest control’ spray used on flight to Australia
After hours of breathing in recycled air on a long-haul flight one plane full of passengers had more fumes sprayed over their heads when they touched down in Australia on Tuesday.
In footage shared online a worker wearing a hi-vis vest can be seen slowly walking down the aisle of a plane spraying the contents of two small cans. MORE
SNIP: This happened to us on a flight to Miami when we were coming back from Central America.
The stewardess held the can behind her back and sprayed a mist at everybody damn-near at eye-level as she walked down the aisle. We weren’t told they would do this.
This was in the late 80s, so it has been going on for much longer than that.
100% violation of the Nuremberg code. Not that ANY GOVERNMENT gives a damn about those accords.
@MJA — If a stew had done that to me I guarantee you I would have become violent in self defense. That was an assault, the spray battery.
Of course I’d have been taken away in cuffs but I’d have made a few marks trying to get those spray cans.
Of course, spraying like that probably doesn’t do much good, if any. Unless they open carryon or purses and spray the insides it won’t affect any hidden nasties.
“they”re not even trying to hide the FACT anymore, that they’re trying to kill us, one way or another.
I JUST HOPE THERE WASN’T ANY MICROPLASTICS IN IT
I flew internationally quite a bit in the 80s and 90s and never had an experience like that, but in 2024 the airlines have devolved into the likes of inner-city busses! Apparently that spray doesn’t work on flying parasites like the ones Jackass Joe flew into the U.S.
Fat Man spraying into his own face. Excellent.
15 years ago I told my buddies “it is only going to get worse”. 15 years later it got worse………..
Good golly but we old people have lived through some really big changes. When I first started getting on an occasional airplane (late 50s) it was a dress-up occasion. Men wore suits, women wore hats and gloves. That’s just the way it was. Very civilized.
Today, looking at YT and TikTok, it is very UNcivilized to the point of barbarism. Short shorts, tee shirts, flip-flops, and fist fights.
65 Years and never been on a plane. The reasons to not start now just keep racking up.
Massive class action lawsuits set to begin in 3 2 1….
BAR – Go take a scenic ride on a nice day in a small plane (like single engine, 4 seater) in a pretty area. You might like it!
True story – back in the eighties my wife and I went to go white water rafting in the New River Gorge. One of my friends new a guy in the area with a plane, so to kill some time we decided to look him up and say hi. Never flew before so we said “sure, let’s go!
We got up there (in the hills) and he had a paved, rolling runway in his back yard (more like a farm). Anyway we knocked on the back door and his 80 some year old wife opened it up and my friend asked her if her husband was available. No, but he’s coming in from Washington DC. I just spoke with him on the radio and he’ll be here in about 15 minutes if you want to wait for him. So we did and he landed right on time. We greeted the old guy as he climbed out of the plane and spoke to him for a minute or two. He asked what we were doing in his neck of the woods. We told him that we were here for the rafting, but thot maybe we could take a little scenic tour of the area… but since you just flew in you probably want to take a break. “Naaaw, I don’t need no break, I’ll be glad to take you up, but I have to tell ya I had to go to DC to bring back a body for a funeral. We asked him if he wanted some help taking the body out and he said “naaaw, he won’t mind if you don’t” So off we went to see the sights with a DB in the back! A little wierd, but fun and beautiful!
Recycled air on an airplane? BULLSHIT!!
Uncle Al – I remember as a kid in the fifties and sixties that Mom wouldn’t go to the grocery store until she got “fixed up and presentable”. Yes, it was a civilized time for sure. To this day I don’t go out to mow the lawn until I’m showered, shaved, combed and dressed in shorts and a descent shirt. It just feels right.
They don’t call them Air BUS for nothin’.
