Viral: Couple was romancing in flight, crew members did this, when the video got leaked there was uproar

Today Trending Viral: What does privacy mean in a place like an aeroplane? Is it the crew's responsibility to make fun of passengers' private moments? Such an incident that happened on a Swiss Airlines flight has shocked everyone.

Trending Viral: A video of a couple having sex on a Swiss Airlines flight (LX181) from Bangkok to Zurich went viral. This video was recorded by the flight crew and posted on social media, after which the airline and crew members are being heavily criticized. According to reports, this incident took place in the forward galley near the cockpit after getting up from the first-class seats.

The camera is for security, but it is misused

There is a live camera installed on the cockpit door, which aims to ensure safety. The live feed can be seen from this camera, but recording is not allowed. Despite this, a crew member recorded the live feed on a device and leaked it. It is not clear at the moment who made the recording, but the incident clearly violates the airline's guidelines.

New debate on privacy

This incident has sparked a new debate about privacy during air travel. The question is, if the crew can record the private movements of passengers in the name of security, then is this not a violation of the right to privacy? Experts believe that such incidents weaken the trust of passengers in the airline.

Mistakes were done from sides, the couple and the crew?

While on one hand the couple's doing such an act in a public place is being considered wrong, on the other hand, the crew's act is also being termed as extremely unprofessional and unethical. People on social media are divided over who is more to be blamed for such incidents. This case forces us to think about the importance of privacy in public places and how the misuse of technology can be prevented
