Passengers on a British Airways flight sang, shouted and preached for almost three hours. The flight from London Heathrow to Jamaica descended into chaos around one hour into the journey.
According to 56-year-old Maxine Munroe, who posted videos of what happened on the flight on TikTok, the singing and preaching took place for over two-and-a-half hours. The footage shows a man stood on his seat and preaching to the rest of the plane while others stood on their seats filming the event.
As reported by GB News, a second video shows a woman walking up and down the aisles encouraging others to join the singing. The videos were posted on social media on January 6.
Ms Munroe, a nurse from Croydon, said: “You will be on flights and people will pray before the flight takes off or if there’s turbulence you might hear somebody pray but not to that scale.
“I think I was just surprised that this was happening 40 thousand feet in the air. At some point I was thinking we need to settle down and we need to rest.”
One of the videos showed the group continue to stand despite the seatbelt light being turned on. Ms Munroe, who was visiting family in Jamaica, added: “There were a lot of people who say they don’t think they could cope on a flight like that.”

According to Ms Munroe, some of the passengers believed alcohol was related but this was not the case. Responding to a TikTok comment asking if the plane was “going down”, Ms Munroe said: “No not at all.”
The video footage has attracted a number of comments, with social media users divided on what happened. Ms Munroe said she was tolerant of the behaviour.
One comment said: “This is needed on every flight! Y’all need to grow up, he’s protecting everyone not just himself.”
Another comment said: “This would anger me so much.” A third comment said: “This would p*** me off.”
