Video Of IndiGo Passengers Refusing To Remain Seated Ahead Of Landing Goes Viral, Here’s What Happens Next

With each passing day, civic sense among people seems to be diminishing. A recent incident aboard an IndiGo flight is a stark reminder as several passengers were seen standing even as the flight was about to land, blatantly ignoring safety protocols. A video of the incident has gone viral, sparking outrage and concern over the growing disregard for basic public etiquette and safety.

Civic sense takes a backseat as IndiGo passengers created a ruckus situation when the flight was about to land

Incidents of people ignoring basic rules and public etiquette have become increasingly common, showing how civic sense is slowly dying in our society. Whether it’s jumping queues, breaking traffic rules, or creating chaos in public spaces, many individuals seem to have forgotten the importance of responsible behavior.

A recent video from an IndiGo flight has once again brought such issues to light. In the clip, which is now going viral on social media, several passengers can be seen standing up and opening the overhead bins while the flight was allegedly preparing to land. Despite repeated announcements by a female flight attendant asking them to remain seated and close the bins, the passengers continued to ignore her instructions.

What disturbed viewers even more was how the situation changed only when a male passenger’s voice was heard asking people to go back to their seats. The fact that many only listened once a man spoke out has triggered a wider conversation online about the deep-rooted patriarchal mindset in our society.

Some netizens expressed concern over how such behavior has become normalized and even expected during public travel.

The airline is yet to comment on the incident. But the video being shared by a foreigner itself is enough to understand the gravity of the situation and that how long it will take for people, Indians, to be truly civic.
