Male Athletes On Qatar Airways Flight Stripping After AC Malfunction

Qatar Airways Flight 204 experienced delays and a lack of air conditioning as the plane struggled to depart Athens on Monday. A group of athletes coming home from a Muay Thai competition were among those on board. The inside of the plane reached over 95 degrees Fahrenheit, and some passengers began removing their clothes to keep cool. “Passengers were literally dehydrating and passing out on the plane,” one sports therapist wrote in an Instagram post under user @granitebodies. “Damian [a man featured in one of the videos] is a fit, conditioned athlete, imagine the stress and danger for any normal individual,” the Instagram post noted. Other images of the incident showed a shirtless man covered in sweat. Passengers were let off the plane after three hours and their flight was rescheduled. (SCMP)
