On a flight from Doha to Moscow, a passenger reacted to the seat in front of him reclining by placing his feet on the back of the seat and not lowering them for a long time; the incident, which caused tension in the cabin, created a significant stir on social media.
On a flight from Doha to Moscow in economy class, an incident occurred where, allegedly, a female passenger became angry when the person sitting in front of her reclined their seat. In response, the furious passenger not only showed passive resistance by placing her feet on the back of the seat but also repeatedly shook the seat, putting the woman in front of her in a difficult position.
In a short time, other passengers and the cabin crew tried to convince the woman to lower her feet in response to this behavior, which drew attention; however, this effort was unsuccessful for about 10-15 minutes. For a moment, the angry passenger's shoes were violently slammed together above the head of the person in front of her, and during this time, the victimized passenger was forced to continue working on her laptop.
"CABIN DISRESPECT" REACTION
Some passengers claimed that the woman's behavior was a protest following the rejection of her upgrade request. Other passengers reacted to the incident, stating that the issue was not just a lack of cabin culture but a serious example of disrespect in the cabin.
FORCED TO LOWER HER FEET
The incident ended later in the flight at the insistence of the cabin crew, and the female passenger was forced to lower her feet. However, the tense moments were recorded by other passengers and quickly spread on social media.
