Apparently a little college fun ain't allowed in the air........even if you clear it with the crew and the seat belt lights are off.


FAA investigating student’s in-flight ‘Harlem Shake’

The survellance video from the "incident"



Here's the article about it in the Colorado College newspaper:

And the FAA crys about budget cuts? Maybe they need to focus on things that matter to public safety if their resources are cut?

How much time and manpower will be wasted on this?

Short of violating some rule of no consequence that exists for enforcement's sake, is there a structural danger to the plane by having that much human cargo moving together in rhythm? A shifting CG is a danger also but I am thinking something more like walkways and balconies that have been weakened or collapsed from dancing rhythm. Can this happen on an aircraft or is this entirely beyond possibility. Of course I hope by this question I have not set in motion entire plane loads of terrorists who take up dancing in the aisles to bring down their own plane.

No wonder the FAA is despised. What a bunch of jerks.

Um, I'm thinking the plane wasn't even away from the gate and sitting on the ground. Just by my guess watching the video. I mean come on...... Who brings a Banana costume with them on a trip? (unless this was around Holloween)

I suppose there worried this might happen to there aluminum tubes flying through the air.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pth0Xw5Q3hM

And we wonder why university costs are so high? Flying an ultimate frisbee team from Colorado to San Diego?

That stupid decision should be what's being investigated.

The FAA is probably just investigating because the Harlem Shake is so passé.

Most ultimate teams are club sports, perhaps all of them. The NCAA doesn't recognize it as a sport. So it is likely that they had to raise their own money for travel and the university had no contribution.

And there I was perfectly happy not knowing what the heck a harlem shake was...

Hell, Pops Dory has been doing that for years, and to much better tunes. What say Pops, how about doing the shake?
