Someone managed to record a portrait video in a bombed, depressurized plane

24comments

Yesterday a suspected bomber seemingly blew an explosive device on Flight D3159 out of Mogadishu, resulting in a depressurized cabin, falling oxygen masks, and ultimately an emergency landing back to the airport shortly after take-off. 

File this into the "you can't make that story up" cabinet, but the alleged bomb that went off apparently only tore a fairly small hole in the cabin, just enough for the eventual bomber to reportedly fall through to unknown destiny. What happened amidst all the brouhaha after the explosion when people rushed to the back of the plane to avoid the air suction coming in and out of the depressurized cabin? Why, a cell phone video, of course, and in our favorite portrait format at that. 

One Awale Kullane, Somalia's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, decided to start filming the festivities while the pilots were rushing the emergency landing, and the video that you see below ensued. Oh, the times we live in - no matter the gravity of the situation, there will always be someone with their finger on the virtual record button. Not that we are complaining - we've never seen a bombed, depressurized cabin from the inside before, and the passengers real reaction, after all - yet we are glad everything went as well as the situation allowed.
