Hacking into the IFE

In Flight Groaning

It seems that American Airlines IFE may be have been hacked. It's a bit unusual to have the PA moaning!

It's a hard wired independent system, pretty much impossible to hack. I suppose someone could stow away in the avionics compartment and plug in a mic directly to the PA amp.

TikTok click/viewbait

Entirely fake I would imagine, scripted & timed with a second Audio overlay added.

I’ve got very good hearing and can hear a little bit of an artefact in the overlay.

This however blows me away…..what’s the nearest ICAO code and have Wizzair routed there yet?

Fake I'm afraid, the moon always presents the same "face" to the earth, doesn't rotate as in the video.
