Plane accidentally plays sexually explicit drama to all passengers

Plane accidentally plays sexually explicit drama to all passengers

Qantas was forced to apologize after it screened an R-rated film on a flight from Sydney to Haneda Airport in Tokyo last week.

In a report by CNN, the Australian airline revealed that there was a technical issue affecting the plane’s screens.

People couldn’t choose their own movies or control what was shown on all their screens. Unfortunately, it screened “Daddio,” a film rated R by the US Motion Pictures Association “for language used throughout, sexual material and brief graphic nudity.”

“Our crew members had a limited list of films to play on all screens on the aircraft, and at the request of several passengers, a specific film was selected for the entire flight,” CNN’s statement said.

The film reportedly featured “a lot of sexting – the kind where you could literally read the text on the screen without needing headphones,” said a passenger who was reportedly on the flight.

In their statement, the Qantas team is said to have initially attempted to repair the screens for customers who did not want to watch the film, but were unable to do so. This resulted in the film being played for at least an hour in front of everyone, including children.

“The film they played was extremely inappropriate. It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting – the kind where you could literally read the text on the screen without needing headphones,” said a passenger quoted by Sky News.

“It took almost an hour for them to switch to a more kid-friendly movie, but it was super uncomfortable for everyone, especially with families and children on board,” the passenger said.

According to CNN, the airline apologized.

“The film was clearly not suitable for viewing throughout the flight and we sincerely apologize to customers for this experience,” a Qantas spokesperson said.

“For the remainder of the flight, all screens were switched to a family-friendly film, which is our standard practice for the rare occasions when individual film selection is not possible. We check how the film was selected.
