It looks like someone is about to be banned from Delta for something other than mask compliance, for once. A TikTok user posted a video that he ended up deleting, which shows him allegedly grilling a steak in an airplane lavatory. The video seems to be filmed in the lavatory of a Delta Connection regional…

The real crime is using white wine to cook a steak. In all seriousness though this was dangerous. 100% Delta should ban him. It looks like it is real to me and he should be possibly arrested too. I was wondering how he carried on the burner though; but, then remembered how bad the TSA is at their jobs.
Beautiful searing. But I don't understand the use of the word "musty" in that context.
Are there smoke alarms in airplanes lavatories? If so, would cooking a steak set them off? I call shenanigans here.
I'm also confused by the word musty here. Is that US slang? Is there an American here who can clarify?
I was on a PIA flight Tehran-Karachi many years ago where a passenger used the aisle to set up a sterno to either heat up or cook a meal. The flight attendants had to intervene!
Musty absolutely is American slang. Black American slang to be precise, but I'm sure it will eventually crossover to the "mainstream" like most Black American slang words have.
2020: AAAAAAHHHHH THE PLANE WILL EXPLODE.
1970: Would you like another cigarette with your dinner sir?
I immediately thought of two crashes. Air Canada, DC9, DFW-YYZ, fire in the lavatory. Emergency landing at CVG. Half of the passengers dead.
Saudia Lockheed L1011 Tristar. Someone tried to cook in the passenger cabin, accidentally starting a fire. Everyone or nearly everyone died.
Not a joke. (I suspect the video is partly faked because steak takes a long time to cook. I suspect two steaks were used even without looking at the video)
I have a friend who is FA on an airline that does Haaj flights every year to Mecca. Some of their passengers, who make this trip once in a lifetime, barely have been in a motorized vehicle, more seldom seen an airplane close up. Despite airport security and numerous announcements at the gate and on board, he sees 6-8 attempts each year of cooking meals onboard with an open flame.
2 years ago, I was sitting in the bulkhead of EasyJet Berlin-Amsterdam 1.5 hour flight and some Dutch lady went into the bathroom and smoked a cigarette. I was sitting in the front row so I could see the sensors on the crew panel that controls the lights go off and they were trying to figure out what happened. They opened the bathroom to find her smoking. On landing, police met the plane. Easily the craziest thing I have seen in the air and again it was only a 1.5 hour flight!
The video was posted on a closed social media group for Delta employees and Delta confirmed that the video was fake.
Fake or not, it was absolutely disgusting to watch and imagine someone eating a steak that was prepared on a toilet seat.
I looked at the guy's Tik Tok page and he does a lot of weird/gross pranks. Probably trying to catch his 15 minutes of fame.
Sterno chaffing fuel containers usually have a blue flame. The toilet wouldn't be lava orange is this was real
Social media is the worst. It has brought us this low class, wanna-be "influencers" that are worthless.
About a year ago I was flying CA from Beijing to Montreal and a seat caught fire. I woke up from my sleep and felt like I was on a flight that would become an episode of Air Crash Investigations. Scary! We were over northern Alaska - very remote. The flight attendants dealt with its quickly and professionally. But wow, the smoke filled the cabin so quickly. Apparently it was a battery crushed in a reclining seat. Thankfully we proceeded safely to YUL and all ended well. Fire on a plane is very scary.
@ Derek
No, the Saudia Tristar fire started in the cargo hold ( NOT someone cooking in the cabin). It was unique among ‘crashes’: landed safely without injuries, taxied to a stop, no one got out because they had all died of smoke/toxic fumes inhalation.
Tragic loss of life but also sad because it cast doubt on the safety of the Tristar ( unfairly) and limited the success of what was a great plane...
I wonder if they got this idea from an old Delta safety video. I flew them in 2014 and their safety video showed someone grilling while telling others not to "smoke" onboard.
I cant believe you would be that dumb... its just a spoof, by some maintenance guy in the hanger.... quit with the lecturing
Good references. However aviation is safe than ever. We’re seeing planes on fire and passengers even escaping with their carryons.
Also a buffet sterno is not highly flammable. Just a blue jelly substance that gives off a small ball of blue flame.
Ok, the Saudia fire was in the cargo hold but there was one cabin fire in the Middle East due to cooking with an open flame by a passenger.
@Desi -- Black American slang? Are you f-ing kidding? I don't know if I'm more offended by your passive racism or your complete lack of knowledge of standard freaking English!
mus·ty
/ˈməstē/

adjective
having a stale, moldy, or damp smell.
"a dark musty library filled with old books"
Similar: moldy, stale, fusty, damp, dank, mildewed, mildewy
With that being said, when exactly does the human brain reach full maturity again? And how many years to that number should we add to the male human brain?
I guess he just liked his steak rare, something you'll never get on any airline, after its been part-cooked on the ground then finished off in the microwave in the air.
A cri de coeur?
Looks like it was indeed a set up. The guy posted an updated video:

@Derek I think everyone died from smoke inhalation,because the aircraft was not de-pressurised on landing & the doors could not be opened from the inside.
Sterno could not cook a steak as it has insufficient caloric value to even warm most things.
Second hand knowledge - a friend worked in Saudi and back in the day almost every flight had some passengers lighting up a samovar or similar to brew their tea while airborne.
Perhaps not that much more dangerous than everyone smoking cigarettes and cigars enroute in the 60's and beyond.
For once I don’t agree, this is simply good comedy. I hope he doesn’t get banned.
I am amazed at your racism. You continue to highlight the foibles of people of color. I don't know how you can live with yourself. You should have simply ignored the story.
You've been duped. The creator of the video is known for making realistic fake videos.
It’s all thru the magic of post-filming editing. There’s another video showing how it’s all made. LED lights that simulate a burn, empty sterno can with blue paper, half cooked meat (one side only).
It’s literally the sh*ttiest tasting steak!
I don’t think I’ve ever *unsubscribed* from a OMAAT thread. This is the first.
I don't understand. The video was a prank and unrelated to the grilling incident.
