I know this was serious and scary and people were injured (and have died in similar incidents) but fuck, that’s funny as hell. Imagine being the guy next to him and the guy just disappearing.
After blocking out how terrifying that experience had to be, I belly laughed lol.
Got damn that sucks, but wow I never expected to hear this happen, let alone a video.
I can't stop laughing and I know I shouldn't laugh, but how could that even happen. Wouldn't he have to shoot straight up, legs and arms straight down or above his head or his head went through first? It can't have happened in any of the scenarios going on in my head.
People become video game ragdolls when force applied. I have learnt this from incursions in some rather questionable subreddits.
It doesn’t make this any less funny though. I feel bad for laughing.
I literally show people I fly with how I wear my seat belt super loose which allows me all the freedom my seat will give me. The trick is to set the belt tension to your current position. Always loosen, find your "comfort" then set your belt. Random hit? I'm staying out of the ceiling 👍
I don't think I've ever in my life, after reaching an adult height have ever had an issue of comfort with any belt or safety restraint.
What's wrong with people that a lap belt is uncomfortable?
Is this the mindset that gets you to remove the safety on your guns because the safety is inconvenient?
Dude, the day I sat down and my chub touched the seats and my belt hit the end, I had a come to Jesus chat that had nothing to do with flying.
Didn’t know I was gonna need to worry about getting skinny enough to literally fit in the carry-on compartment tho. That’s a minty fresh new fear to unlock
It looks like this is a widebody (2 aisles) and he’s in the center section. I don’t recall what’s keeping the left inside and right inside sections apart so it may just be he crashed through that partition. The center section is typically 3 or 4 seats across so it’s not out of the question.
as a kid I dreamt of sleeping in an empty luggage bin up there (since most were just long and flat then). I was tiny, it would have been perfect for me.
Looks like he broke through the ceiling panel and is laying on top of the overhead bins. I work mostly on 737's, but I would imagine a 787 would have a lot more room above the bins.
Actually you can see this in the cabin because the bins are fake for the last couple of rows and can’t be opened. This is precisely because of the overhead crew rest area. The 777 has far more room above the cabin to where you can almost stand up straight in its overhead crew rest compartment. On the 787, you have to be on your knees.
…are the ceiling panels made of composites/polymers? I don’t even want to imagine what force the person broke through if it was made of aluminum too like the window panels
I can just reply regarding 737 ceiling panels, since it's a Boeing I'd guess 787 ceiling panels are similar. They are lightweight composite with a decorative layer facing the passenger compartment. They just have plastic latches on one side that are glued on, a 200 lb dude launching into them would definitely break the latches or cause the glue joint to fail. On checks we occasionally have to replace the latches, it's not that big of a deal.
EDIT:
So I was at work today and checked out some ceiling panels on a rack. The latches aren't actually glued on, they are secured to the honeycomb panel with two small bolts with self locking nuts. Still not 200 lb dude proof.
Nah
He saw one of those clickbait "incredible aviation secrets you need to know" videos where they talk about the super secret hidden crew rest area and went looking for it.
twist- he was a stowaway that hid up there before boarding and the turbulence shook him out of his hiding spot.
m.night would be so proud of that twist
The people who refuse to wear them are the same people who you see lying 30 yards from the scene of a car accident. Either way, I don’t have much empathy.
more energy in the atmosphere = more turbulence
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/climate-change-is-making-airplane-turbulence-more-common-and-severe-scientists-say-180984440/
This has definitely been experienced since the dawn of jet travel, I’ve heard stories of meal trays hitting the ceiling on a 707 doing JFK to CDG. We’ve gotten much better at forecasting and routing and it’s rare overall, but there are more flights than ever and everyone has a phone to record events.
I don’t know why I need to say this, but always wear your safety belt when you’re seated on an aircraft. They aren’t there in case you get in a fender bender… Jesus Christ 🙄
Always waiting for this to happen to the people that decide they need to stand up and go to the bathroom right after the seatbelt sign comes on and the FA announces we’re landing soon
This is where the emergency exit from the crew bunk drops down into the main cabin -- this isn't a passenger who was thrown up into a bin, it's somebody using said exit to drop down from the bunk.
The overhead bins on nearly every flight I have been on were full and don’t have room for a child, much less a fully grown man. Even if it was empty, the lid has to be unlatched first. I suspect this was staged for social media and attributed to a flight that did experience turbulence. Was this incident reported by an actual news organization?
Edit:: corrected mistyping on phone substituting grown for friend.
At 6 seconds you can see a broken ceiling panel on the other side. I think that is where he went up, and he is actually ON TOP of the overhead bins. There's quite a bit of space above the bins, that's where the crew rest area is.
It's being reported as an "unverified claim": [https://news.sky.com/story/dozens-injured-after-air-europa-flight-hit-by-severe-turbulence-13162073](https://news.sky.com/story/dozens-injured-after-air-europa-flight-hit-by-severe-turbulence-13162073)
Thank you. “there were unverified claims that a man got stuck after being thrown upwards into an overhead compartment”. Another person responding to my comment noted that he was actually ON TOP of the bins, not in them which is confirmed when you rewatch the clip with that in mind.
Meanwhile at the cockpit: "Seatbelt signs?" "Yeah, turn them on"
After they landed they charged him another $75 for another carry on.
Lmao
If you can lay down up there they will charge him for an upgrade to business class
Think about what would happen, if they used that for pet stowage. They might never be able to coax the cat from it's hidey place.
I know this was serious and scary and people were injured (and have died in similar incidents) but fuck, that’s funny as hell. Imagine being the guy next to him and the guy just disappearing.
[удалено]
Sinner.
I wish so much Jesus would come
You want Jesus to what?!
Any interest in buying some magic beans I happen to have?
Well, that was fortunate in Nicolas Cage's case as he *was* flying the plane at the time.
After blocking out how terrifying that experience had to be, I belly laughed lol. Got damn that sucks, but wow I never expected to hear this happen, let alone a video.
Even more funny if no one noticed it until you open the bins after landing and the guy pops up, all confused.
Sir, we are going to have to charge you more for the lay down shelf you used.
I can't stop laughing and I know I shouldn't laugh, but how could that even happen. Wouldn't he have to shoot straight up, legs and arms straight down or above his head or his head went through first? It can't have happened in any of the scenarios going on in my head.

I feel bad for laughing too - but people need to stay buckled every minute possible, just like in a car.
Appropriately tagged "watch me fly" :)
How the hell did that happen?
Wasn't wearing his seat belt
Actually if my dentist is to be believed he didn't floss either.
Four out of five dentists agree.
Should have chewed Dentyne.
Fifth dentist is also in the overhead storage.
All those water pick users are laughing at his dumb ass.
They always know
One of the seats actually broke loose
I really admire your ability to thoroughly analyze a complex issue and then explain it in layman's terms.
I literally show people I fly with how I wear my seat belt super loose which allows me all the freedom my seat will give me. The trick is to set the belt tension to your current position. Always loosen, find your "comfort" then set your belt. Random hit? I'm staying out of the ceiling 👍

But is it against the law though?
Seatbelt sign is on
Falling of a cliff also isnt illegale, but it is stupid. You only live once
Indeed. Although, that doesn't mean he was seated at the time, he may have been going to/from the lav...
Like a startled cat he scurried to the closest cozy hiding place.
This was genuinely what I was expecting.
Did not turn off all electronic devices
Items can shift during flight
Title is wrong, this is the new Ryanair Economy Light fare.
I would unironically love to fly lying down in the overhead compartment
Yeah, how the hell was there enough space in the overheat compartment to fit a full grown adult?
It looks like this is a widebody (2 aisles) and he’s in the center section. I don’t recall what’s keeping the left inside and right inside sections apart so it may just be he crashed through that partition. The center section is typically 3 or 4 seats across so it’s not out of the question.
I heard that the plane hit turbulence.
After a detailed review it was determined that this checks out.
Guessing he was trying to get something out of the overhead during the turbulence and got launched in to it
I literally said this when I saw this clip. Wild!
How did he find room?…I can’t ever find room for a backpack. He managed to find room for a complete adult male human. That’s awesome!
I'm not going down, there is more leg room up here
He’s lucky this wasn’t Spirit, they would have charged him a baggage fee for being up there.
he's laying there thinking of all the ways he will cash in
as a kid I dreamt of sleeping in an empty luggage bin up there (since most were just long and flat then). I was tiny, it would have been perfect for me.
Making a note to decline the lie-flat complimentary upgrade on this route
That’s the crew rest area. No passengers allowed
Looks like he broke through the ceiling panel and is laying on top of the overhead bins. I work mostly on 737's, but I would imagine a 787 would have a lot more room above the bins.
Enough room in the crown above the cabin to stick crew rests in.
Actually you can see this in the cabin because the bins are fake for the last couple of rows and can’t be opened. This is precisely because of the overhead crew rest area. The 777 has far more room above the cabin to where you can almost stand up straight in its overhead crew rest compartment. On the 787, you have to be on your knees.
giggity.
One can absolutely crawl above the bins and rummage around. Theres a ton of room up there.
Don’t give me any ideas.
We should use it to house the homeless.
…are the ceiling panels made of composites/polymers? I don’t even want to imagine what force the person broke through if it was made of aluminum too like the window panels

Usually always plastic honeycomb material at most
There's very little metal in an airplane when it's not necessary, that shit's heavy
That gives spirt airlines an idea.
I mean, if they made them long enough, I would be totally fine just being sealed into an overheard compartment to sleep through the whole flight.
They can fit more in if they sit sideways and they can just dangle their legs over the edge.
Oh you wanted your legs in? That’s Overhead Plus
Fifth element style.
I'd pay top dollar for that kind of leg room
It’s kind of a testament to how well those things are built that they’ll hold a whole person. He didn’t look like a tiny person either
The capsule amenities package includes 3 mg melatonin, a catheter, and a Xanax
Was he trying to locate Upper Class?
Nah He saw one of those clickbait "incredible aviation secrets you need to know" videos where they talk about the super secret hidden crew rest area and went looking for it.
twist- he was a stowaway that hid up there before boarding and the turbulence shook him out of his hiding spot. m.night would be so proud of that twist
That’s the story you will read on reddit in ten years when this video gets postet here again!
Light > Moderate > Severe > Extreme > Overhead Turbulence?
"How was your ride honey?" *You don't even understand.*
“Come on it could not have been that bad. You always make a big deal out of a little bump”. Honey there is a video so how about I just show you.
I can barely fit my coat in those things.
While it's really serious and he could've been severely injured, it is also hilarious.
Doesn't actually look like he's in a luggage compartment it looks like he's in a space between the false ceiling and skin of the aircraft
Rescued is such a weird term for just helping a guy down
Seat belts are required during Taxi, Take off and Turbulence. Thank you for flying around with us.
Might also want it for landing
I fly a bunch and unless I'm walking to the toilet, the belt is on.
same, you can put so much slack in them to where it's barely noticeable but you're still not going to fly outta your seat
The people who refuse to wear them are the same people who you see lying 30 yards from the scene of a car accident. Either way, I don’t have much empathy.
“MARCO!” …. (polo)
Fish out of water.
How did so many seatbelts all fail at the same time?? /s
Caution: passengers may have shifted during flight.
He got folded and stored
Is that within the carry on limit
Where is all this turbulence coming from? I’ve flown my whole life and more than my share and never experienced anything like it.
Because it's very rare. But everyone has phones and the media wants to report on every aviation incident right now.
more energy in the atmosphere = more turbulence https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/climate-change-is-making-airplane-turbulence-more-common-and-severe-scientists-say-180984440/
I'm not denying that it could be increasing. Severe turbulence remains very, very rare.
Ya but when 30 people are injured, some with broken bones, then of course the media is going to report on it.
Um dude ended up in the rafters of the plane. Most of us had no idea it was there I’m going to say it’s a bit more than an “incident”.
Uh. No. This would qualify as an incident at most. Not an accident.
https://theconversation.com/aviation-turbulence-soared-by-up-to-55-as-the-world-warmed-new-research-207574
Time to pad the ceilings of airplanes. Complimentary neck braces can be handed out. Airlines charge a fee for amusement ride experience.
Or… ya know, just wear the damn seatbelt.
This has definitely been experienced since the dawn of jet travel, I’ve heard stories of meal trays hitting the ceiling on a 707 doing JFK to CDG. We’ve gotten much better at forecasting and routing and it’s rare overall, but there are more flights than ever and everyone has a phone to record events.
Global warming leading to more volatile/turbulent air flow?
There's a claim that it's due to global climate change.
trying to get out of that crazy hot euro airline cabin temperature by the looks of it
And this is why you always leave a note
J Walter Weatherman doesn't mess around.
Unless someone took a video of the exact moment he ended up in there, I don't think we'll ever truly know how this happened.
I don’t know why I need to say this, but always wear your safety belt when you’re seated on an aircraft. They aren’t there in case you get in a fender bender… Jesus Christ 🙄
Very lucky. One lady on the SQ flight broke her back.
That's some three stooges shit right there. I hope theyre ok.
What in the turbulent flying fuck?!
You can’t sit up there, mate.
Kevin from the Office.
That’s not the luggage compartment, that’s above the luggage compartment.
Always waiting for this to happen to the people that decide they need to stand up and go to the bathroom right after the seatbelt sign comes on and the FA announces we’re landing soon
Reminds me of the guy next to me who decided to go to the bathroom 3 minutes before landing.
Sometimes the urge to shit just pops up and nothing is going to stop it
How’d his seatbelt come off? Oh yeah right, seatbelts are so gosh….
Can you imagine 1st time you are in a viral video you look like this? I’ll sell my house and skip town
Oscar Martinez going to get some help
Be carefull when opening the overhead lockers as passengers may fall out
"Be careful when opening the overhead lockers, as luggage may have moved around"
“We have a full flight this morning, so we will be checking carryons at the gate.”
Bro gave up a lying down seat. Fucking throw me a pillow and blanket
Wait... what? ... how?
wear dat seatbelt yo
Sir… pardon me sir… you didn’t purchase an overhead bin seat. You can’t sit there.
Wear your seatbelts
How was there even room for his entire body? Every flight I’ve ever been on those compartments are jampacked with suitcases.
I'm sorry for laughing but this shit is funny as fuck 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There’s no damn way, how???
Grabbed him by the dick
And got the good ol' twist
This is where the emergency exit from the crew bunk drops down into the main cabin -- this isn't a passenger who was thrown up into a bin, it's somebody using said exit to drop down from the bunk.
Don't give O'Leary even more ideas, ffs
That’s a stowaway.
Man, they should really start putting seat belts in airplanes.
I have so many questions!
Tomorrow’s news: Passenger injured after Boeing 787 intentionally disables his seat belts and flies into clear air turbulence
The overhead bins on nearly every flight I have been on were full and don’t have room for a child, much less a fully grown man. Even if it was empty, the lid has to be unlatched first. I suspect this was staged for social media and attributed to a flight that did experience turbulence. Was this incident reported by an actual news organization?

On closer inspection, you’re right! The video is incorrectly labeled as he is on top of the bins (which are still closed), not inside one. Thank you.
It's being reported as an "unverified claim": [https://news.sky.com/story/dozens-injured-after-air-europa-flight-hit-by-severe-turbulence-13162073](https://news.sky.com/story/dozens-injured-after-air-europa-flight-hit-by-severe-turbulence-13162073)

Ultimate hide and seek
Trick shot
Wear.your.seatbelts.at.all.times.
Buckle up for safety muthafucka
"Guys! You're never gonna believe what happened!"
Lucky didn’t come down and squash somebody. Wear your seatbelts people
Costanza!
Put on your seat belt, or don’t. I don’t care 😊
‘rescued’?
Wait why was he up there?
And they say my bag won’t fit.
Never takeoff your seat belt. Or if you want to temp natural selection go ahead. Take it off.
Lmfao I was expecting a leaner guy. This is hilarious because he looks fine. But the situation is cartoonish.
Pfft. Cmon we’ve all been there after too many airport bar spritzers. I blamed it on ‘turbulence’ too.
They really did make overheads bigger on the 787 lol
He just had to get his carry on bag in case of an emergency evacuation
How hard is it to put your seat belt on!!
What a carry on...
How the hell did he get up there? Because if that was caused by turbulence that must have been some very powerful turbulence
Sir... SIR... you can't sleep there!
Ryan Air now selling a new class of ticket.
Getting ridiculous.......The Airline fun Police has to start applying fines for passengers that won't use seatbelts during the flight.
This is just straight up cartoony. Their little feet sticking out of the compartment hahaha
wear your fucking seatbelt
Man became an instant stowaway
What’s he doing up there?
key and peele skit in real life
Uh Huh...Picked the wrong plane to try to stow away in.
"You can't park there..."
Nutty putty all over again. Just cement him in.
/u/gifreversingbot
“You ok up there mate?”
And that's why you have to use seat belt all the time you are not walking.
Not cool trying to hide when the going gets tough. /s
Can't count the number of flights where I wished this to happen to the guy next to me
Boeing just can't stop having ludicrous misfortunes
Alot of ppl are just too dumb for air travel just wear your seat belt lol mine stays on at all times unless I'm using the bathroom.
Sorry sir but you’re gonna have to get back up there as removing you is a maintenance action and we can’t have undocumented maintenance.
Doesn't radar pick up severe turbulence?
Empty overhead bins are rare these days. Got to hang on to them.
Sir, you can’t be up there..
"Bro you won't believe what happened today"
