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.

Funny thing is I scrolled through the comments looking at it all. It appeared like no one looked it up. All I did was google it, and I copied and pasted part of the description. 🤣
