It's the dance sensation that's sweeping above the nation -- at 30,000 feet. The Harlem shake has gone aloft, breaking out on commercial airline flights, and appearing in dozens of YouTube videos.
Some of the videos were taped aboard planes on the ground. But the Federal Aviation Administration says it is looking into one instance of high-altitude dancing.
And airline pilots, flight attendants and others say the fad presents serious safety and security problems.
"It's ridiculous," said
Jim Tilmon, a retired 29-year airline pilot. "A commercial airplane in
flight ... is not a dance hall, it's not an entertainment stage, it's
not any of those things."
The once dance craze has been turned into a serious offense. Why must they kill a joke like this? No one got hurt and as long as they waited till the "buckle up" part of the flight was done, it was a safe activity.http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/01/travel/harlem-shake-faa/index.html?hpt=hp_t3
