- Getting banned from planes because of masks keeps happening, but this man got banned for something else.
Originally he posted a video to TikTok, but he ended up deleting it. The video allegedly showed him grilling a steak in an airplane lavatory.
It happened on a Delta Connection plane, and as someone with a daily working knowledge of those regional planes, let me just say, wow. Those bathrooms are tiny, like the smallest of the small. Also, who does this?
The video showed the man placing a heater in the toilet bowl, starting a fire with a lighter, and then placing an aluminum grilling sheet across the toilet seat, for the steak of course. He then places the steak on the sheet, pours over some white wine, and eventually the steak is cooked.
When finished, he plates his steak and then takes his seat. Or that’s how it was presented anyhow.
Why did he do any of this? Well, for TikTok and the attention of it all. According to him, the premise of his video is that he’s doing it because “they don’t have hot meals on planes anymore.”
It’s pretty much a certainty that there were no served, hot meals in economy, on a short haul domestic US flight. The CRJ airplanes don’t have ovens, so even in first class, (another rarity on these typical 50 seaters,) there have never been hot meals on these planes.
Southwest retweeted his video saying, “We have no words. Other than please don’t even think about cooking a steak on one of our flights.”
Turns out this isn’t the first time that this guy has attempted to pull an airplane prank. He previously showed a video in which he gave the woman in front of him a “haircut” as her hair was blocking his personal tv. However, that turned out to be a fake and a setup, as the woman was in fact wearing a wig.
Kids these days.
