Talk about a captive audience. A video has gone viral of a woman standing up in the middle of her flight to give a speech about the pandemic.
The video was posted by TikTok user @Jawny, who is also a musician. The 1 minute and 39-second video starts with the woman standing up and saying, "This is my microphone. This is mine; you can't take it."
She then says that she tried borrowing the flight attendant's microphone, who is standing behind her, but she wouldn't let her.
The text on the screen says that the TikTok user paid for in-flight WiFi to post the video as they were in the air.
The woman then started her speech saying, "The pandemic started all because humans have," and then she was cut off by a flight attendant who said they were going to cuff her.

"You're going to cuff me? You're going to cuff me?" she said in surprise. "I don't need to be taken anywhere. I don't need to be cuffed. I'm completely harmless, although I think you're all enjoying this because, like I said, I'm not terrible to look at."
The woman then continues her point again, saying that the pandemic started "because the internet" but was cut off again.
Then she started for a third time, saying it was because "nobody here has any more faith because you're all stuck to your stupid [inaudible], and you don't even know what reality is anymore, and you depend on stupid nonsense to determine your reality."

The flight attendants were then able to disconnect the woman's microphone and began escorting her to the back of the plane.
"My dog has better sense than any of you," the woman said while walking back.
It's not clear what airline the woman was flying, and the user who posted the TikTok did not give any more information on what happened after she was detained.
The video has amassed 205.2 thousand likes, 13.1 thousand comments, and almost 2 million views as of Monday morning.
