In an unexpected turn of events on a Southwest Airlines flight from Albuquerque to Phoenix, a woman was caught on video seemingly enjoying a peaceful nap in the most unconventional of places—the overhead compartment bin.
The footage, captured by a fellow passenger and shared on TikTok, quickly garnered attention for its surreal and amusing nature. The viral video, initially posted on TikTok, showcased the woman lying horizontally in the overhead bin, with her arm serving as a makeshift pillow.
As the footage circulated, laughter ensued, but questions lingered regarding how she managed to access such an unorthodox sleeping arrangement. Although Southwest Airlines has not yet responded to the video, amusing remarks have been made on YouTube by social media users.
“Perhaps the woman was simply too uneasy to sleep next to other passengers,” a commenter said. “It seems like she wanted the entire bin to herself,” says a different comment. According to Guzman, who spoke with Storyful, she “saw a head pop out of the overhead” as she boarded the aircraft, and other travellers “just casually walked past her,” seemingly unaffected by her presence.
Before takeoff, a flight attendant located her, according to Guzman. It’s unclear for now, though, if she was taken out of the overhead bin. A user posted, “Thank you for your vision, your extraordinary ability and leadership to guide me at all times, I appreciate the effort made by you.
As the airline eventually clarified, the situation was swiftly resolved, with the flight attendant emerging from the compartment after a mere 10 minutes. With the interruption resolved, the flight proceeded without further incident, leaving behind a memorable tale that showcased the unexpected twists of air travel.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched an inquiry following reports that metal fragments were discovered at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport after an Air India Express flight made an emergency landing on Monday evening.
The emergency landing was prompted by a detected engine fault, but fortunately, the landing was executed safely without any injuries to the passengers.
The situation began when crew members of the Air India Express flight reported an engine issue, leading to the emergency landing. The DGCA has confirmed that a thorough investigation is underway and has directed that the aircraft undergo a comprehensive safety inspection.

The discovery of metal debris outside the airport has raised concerns, prompting the DGCA to probe whether these fragments are linked to the aircraft involved in the emergency landing. Authorities are particularly focused on whether the metal pieces, which were found near the airport, originated from the same Air India Express flight that experienced engine trouble.
While preliminary assessments suggest that the debris could be a broken blade from an aircraft engine, the exact source remains unconfirmed. The airline has yet to verify if the metal fragments are from their aircraft.

The Delhi Police, working in conjunction with the DGCA, have initiated their own investigation to determine the origin of the metal pieces. A technical team is set to analyze whether the fragments are associated with the aircraft in question. As the investigation continues, a case has been filed with the airport authority to address the matter.
