Plane Passengers On Delayed Flight Not Prepared For What Child Does For Hours: 'Jump Out'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When travelers boarded a delayed Delta flight hoping to reach Orlando, few could have predicted that their patience would be tested not just by air traffic, but by an impromptu concert held at 35,000 feet. According to a since-deleted Reddit post by user Plane-Cloud-5837, passengers were "held hostage" by a young girl who took command of the in-flight public address (PA) system to sing the entire soundtrack of "Moana" during a four-hour ordeal, including a two-hour delay and a lengthy circle over Orlando. The child didn't stop at one chorus of "How Far I'll Go." According to one Reddit user, "Apparently it cut off when her brother started on the drums." Another commented, "SHUT UP. NO THERE'S NO WAY IT GOT WORSE. STOP." Stock image: Rows of vacant seats on a plane.

While a few passengers may have indulged the moment as harmless or even charming, the prevailing mood on Reddit was of disbelief. As one parent remarked, "I love my child, but not everything special to me is enjoyable for everybody else. "Putting your child's voice over the flight's PA system is more of a personal indulgence rather than a shared joy." 'Quit screwing around' More than a few critics expressed their dismay, such as one person who said the episode should never have been allowed to happen. "Quit screwing around on planes," the person said, adding, "Stop promoting this behavior and shut it down." The situation touched a nerve among frequent flyers, who often find themselves captive to less-than-considerate behavior in tight quarters. As Newsweek reported in a June 2024 article, a YouGov poll revealed that 80% of Americans find it unacceptable for children to play in the aisles, ranking higher in disapproval than seat-reclining, eating pungent foods, or even mid-flight intoxication. Notably, the same poll showed that passengers taking their shoes off or watching videos without headphones were less divisive than letting children roam, or make noise unchecked. Airplane etiquette, especially regarding traveling with children, continues to fuel debate online. In April 2025 guide to in-flight dos and don'ts, air travelers are advised to prepare kids with headphones, entertainment and snacks—advice not fully followed by those aboard the Delta flight. The guide warns that even minor disturbances become magnified in the air, stating, "Tensions are often heightened on airplanes," and, "Being considerate of other passengers around you helps to avoid any potential conflict that could make for an uncomfortable journey." What caused the child to take over the intercom and whether the crew had permitted the performance remain unclear, though users speculated about leniency or indulgence. The viral TikTok video of the incident, while gaining traction elsewhere, only added to the frustration expressed by those in the thread. For the unlucky passengers, the flight may be remembered less for its destination and more for its unexpected soundtrack—one that prompted more than a few to imagine the emergency exits not as safety features, but as potential escape routes.

‘Worst Nightmare': Girl Sings To Passengers Over Plane Intercom Amid 2-Hour Delay
Last Updated: The flight to Orlando was delayed by severe weather. To uplift the mood, a young girl decided to sing a song for the passengers. A Delta Airlines flight from Florida unexpectedly turned into a concert when a young girl took over the plane's intercom to sing a song from Disney's hit movie Moana. The flight to Orlando was delayed by severe weather, spending two hours grounded and another two hours circling before landing. Amid the passengers' frustration and discomfort, the girl's rendition of How Far I'll Go brought a moment of joy to some, but most remained frustrated. A video, first shared on TikTok, captures the child confidently singing on the flight crew's intercom system, with a few passengers joining in, while many others stayed silent, clearly unamused. This is actually my worst nightmare — The Notorious J.O.V. (@whotfisjovana) May 28, 2025 Of course, the video quickly went viral. The moment divided the internet, with passengers and viewers equally split in their responses. 'Flight got delayed, and this little girl won't stop singing Moana. Get me off this plane," a passenger posted. Another added, 'This is actually my worst nightmare and personal hell." A viewer wrote, 'She's on key and on tempo. It could be much, much worse." 'When your flight gets delayed by 2 hours and you circle Orlando for another 2… But then a little girl sings Moana on the crew mic, and suddenly everything feels okay," praised a social media user, applauding her talent. An individual said, 'Oh, for crying out loud, they were on the ground for a two-hour delay. This child wanted to do something to cheer people up. It's cute and, more importantly, gave the other passengers a distraction from the boredom of sitting on the tarmac." 'I don't see anything wrong with this video. Cool kid showing her singing talent!" expressed a user. A passenger who spoke with The Independent described the atmosphere onboard as 'hot" and 'packed." Reflecting on the girl's performance, she called the moment both sweet and awkward. 'All of a sudden a flight attendant shares with us that they have a sweet little girl that would love to share, or sing, a song with us. We were confused. And then she started singing. And I thought she was going to sing maybe like up until the chorus part, or end at the chorus, and then we were all going to go along our merry way. But no, she sang the whole song. There was some scattered applause. But it was also very uncomfortable," she said. In a conversation with Newsweek, Delta Airlines responded to the incident. Noting the girl's efforts, they said, 'We appreciate the customer sharing her talents." The Airlines also apologised to the customers for the delay in their travels.
