Qantas flight passengers shocked: indecent film screened

Passengers on a Qantas international flight from Sydney to Japan's Haneda Airport were confronted with a very unpleasant situation. A sexually explicit film was unexpectedly shown on the plane's screens and could not be stopped or changed. The incident caused a great deal of disquiet among passengers and became the subject of discussion on the Internet.

The incident happened last week when the film Daddio, starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, started playing on passenger screens during a flight. According to the IMDb website, the film is rated R for "language, sexual content and brief scenes of nudity." However, no one expected that such content would be seen on every screen without the possibility of turning it off.

One passenger shared her experience on the social platform Reddit, stating that "not only was the film sexually explicit, but it also showed a lot of sexually explicit messages, the text of which could be read directly on the screens without headphones." The incident lasted almost an hour before the flight crew realized the problem and changed the film to more appropriate content.

Qantas has apologised to passengers for this inconvenience

The airline explained that the problem was caused by a technical error, which prevented the selection of individual movies. The crew, realizing the problem could not be resolved, changed the movie to family-friendly content as soon as possible.

"This film was clearly inappropriate for broadcast on the entire flight, and we sincerely apologize to passengers for this experience," the Qantas spokesperson said. "We will carefully review how this film was chosen to ensure such incidents do not happen again."

The incident has sparked a lot of discussion online

Many passengers and their families were miserable because there were children on board, which made the content inappropriate and the whole flight uncomfortable.

Despite the apology, this situation has raised questions about the airline's content management system and how such mistakes may affect the passenger experience in the future. Qantas has promised to investigate the situation further to avoid similar problems and to ensure passenger comfort during flights.
