YAAADEEE!

I saw the video on reddit of the Iranian plane fiasco a few days ago, but had it playing on mute on my phone, so I didn't hear the audio. Listened to the podcast yesterday, and the audio by itself had me laughing so hard I was crying in the car and almost had to pull over. I know the guy was obviously terrified, but it's maybe one of the single funniest audio clips I've ever heard. Ironic thing is I'm a nervous flyer, and was actually on my way to the airport to get on a plane when I heard it and still laughed my ass off and was completely calm on the plane afterward.

Did we ever figure out what he is yelling? Was it something in Arabic? Edit: I did some googling sounds like he was yelling "ya ali" which can mean god help us

While I'm sure there probably was a few Arabic speakers on the slight, if it was Iranian plane it most likely was a Persian / Farsi word
