Perhaps one of you Gen Z folks can explain why someone would create a fake video of herself on a mock aircraft wrapping plastic wrap as if to stake out a row for herself. Is it simply because she knows bloggers looking for clicks will write about it, giving her free publicity, or am I missing something else?
Woman Insulates Herself On Aircraft By Wrapping Plastic Wrap Around Her Entire Row
If you watch the video below, it is 100% clear this video is “fake” in the sense that it did not occur on a real flight. Tell-tale signs include a generic uniform without logos or badges, a small cabin, empty bulkhead, IFE screens turned off, but most of all strip lights running along the wall above the windows. This is 100% fake.

Based on the way in which the rows are numbered (and the seats themselves), this appears to be some sort of Delta training aircraft. But that still does not explain what is going on here. Is this a training exercise caught on camera? Was this just a group of folks wanting to film a joke?
I mean, it made me think about the Orthodox Jewish man who wrapped himself in a similar fashion 10 years ago, allegedly because there was a woman seated behind him…maybe that was the inspiration?
In this case, the woman is warned she cannot insulate herself like that and the “flight attendant” begins to pull off the wrapping, warning that she will need to speak to an Air Marshal aboard. Meanwhile, she’s screaming that the flight attendant is touching her (when he’s not) and also wrongly asserts “I can do whatever I want.”
CONCLUSION
So again I ask, what is the point of all this? Just to get rubes like me to talk about it in a desperate effort for clicks? Or is there something else going on here that I am missing? I’m genuinely confused.

The Haredi Jew in question did not do it because there was a woman behind him, that’s media nonsense.
He did as became Orthodox and was a Kohen with priestly lineage, which has special rules about going to or flying over a cemetary, though he totally misunderstood the actual requirements for that.

Some people are desperate for attention so where they stage things for social media and for them, free publicity is good publicity.
It’s Tic, of course it’s for clicks. That, insta and fakebook all need to go. Maybe even twitter.
And here we go giving her exactly what she wanted.
I get it, but I’m really trying to understand if it is simply a desperate grab for attention.
Of course, utter clowns who need attention bc they ain’t getting it anywhere else.
@Matthew – Do you copy the articles from viewfromthewing blog?
Are you an idiot?
Did you notice the h/t at the bottom?
That’s what travel bloggers do and Gary and I have similar interests and cover similar topics. So yes, there is going to be overlap.
Are you going to accuse Gary of the same thing for covering the United FA lawsuit?
I am laughing at you. Too much time on your hands.
Some things are simply unexplainable;e and I think you know that
sorry for the typo : unexplainable
It’s clearly fake but at least you aren’t posting articles that enable racial and political antagonization for clicks so we should be happy about that.
The same reason a drug addict steals from people they love to fund their habit. For many people, the dopamine hit they get from likes, clicks, and views is just as addictive as cocaine. So their behavior to satisfy the addiction becomes more and more extreme and bizarre. Social media companies know this and intentionally tap into the worst tendencies of human nature in the name of profit. Consider cigarette advertising in the 20th century, then consider tobacco companies enhancing the nicotine content in cigarettes knowingly. Keep this in mind and consider the nearly singular revenue stream of social media companies. That should give you your answer.

It’s probably a video of a Flight Crew training exercise- I’m sure they come up with some outrageous scenarios just because you never know what people will do on a plane and mainly the whole point is to get an idea of how a FA might react in out of the ordinary situations.
It’s clearly fake. Where are the other passengers? Where is the uniform? Why are the entertainment screens all off? Not a real airplane interior either.
And I realize you said this in your post lol.
Was I the only person who noticed the lady behind her painting her toe nails while all this was going on?
Flying has become a circus and a lot of what’s real and what’s fake is out there.
“Is it simply because she knows bloggers looking for clicks will write about it”
We have a winner.
Was looking for a different ending when it looked like she was going to wrap her head in the plastic wrap.
It literally says on the screen “this is a dramatization based on actual events”
There are many reasons being offered up regarding the woman’s bizarre behavior. I have two for your consideration, assuming this is real. First, she is sealing herself off because she’s afraid famed nuclear engineer Sam Brinton will grab her carry-on. Second, and most likely, she is nuts.
So I’m politically incorrect by brain washed American standards,however,that jew wrapped in plastic is one of the dumbest most obnoxious sights I’ve ever seen.Imagine the pope doing that that!
