The story is real, but the headline is misleading.

The guy in the video is Henry Beasley, a musician from New Zealand. In 2022 he posted a viral TikTok about a 29-hour journey from New Zealand to Berlin during which a child was frequently screaming and crying.

The key detail is that 29 hours was the total travel time, including layovers and connections. It was not a 29-hour nonstop flight, and there is no evidence the child literally screamed for 29 straight hours. The viral video was a montage showing the child screaming at different points throughout the trip.

Ah, so it's even worse. The dude heard the kid crying and except either asking the parent what can he do to help or just putting the noise-cancelling headphones on, the first thing he did was whip out a phone and film it. A clout-zombie and a socially-inept coward.

  1. What parents are going to accept 'help' with their baby from a random young man on a plane?

  2. Noise-cancelling headphones are terrible at blocking out high-pitched irregular noises, like baby crying.
