A video that went viral on TikTok showcased a heartwarming incident involving a crying baby on a flight between Dubai and Albania in March of 2022. The video, shared by user @parikshitbalochi, depicted a group of passengers singing “Baby Shark” to comfort the child, who had been crying nonstop.
The passengers can be seen clapping and singing along to the popular children’s song in unison, and the baby is shown listening and appearing to cheer up. The video has since garnered over 9.3 million views and more than 550,000 likes.
According to the TikTok user who recorded the video, they were seated next to the family with the crying baby and witnessed fellow passengers trying to distract the child before eventually coming together to sing “Baby Shark” in an effort to soothe the infant.
The act of kindness demonstrated that a little patience and understanding can go a long way in making parents with young children feel more welcome on flights.
Many TikTok users praised the passengers for their kind gesture, with one user commenting, “It literally costs nothing to be a decent person. We need more of this.”
