An El Al captain, Midan Bar, formerly the chairman of the Pilots Association, has shared a video documenting the significant amount of trash left behind by passengers on a plane after a flight. Bar, who previously headed the Pilots Association, walked through the cabin after passengers had disembarked, filming snack wrappers, open packaging, and papers strewn across seats and the floor.
"Why does a plane have to look like this? It was only a three-hour flight, I really can't understand it," Bar is heard saying in the footage. He posted the video to his Instagram account, where it gained widespread attention and hundreds of thousands of views.
The images from the plane sparked a lively online discussion about passenger behavior and responsibility for maintaining cleanliness. Some commenters suggested implementing fines for passengers who leave trash on board. One user shared an experience of a flight to Thailand where the plane was left in an even worse state. Others urged against generalizing the behavior to all Israeli passengers, with one commenter stating, "Stop with the stories about Israelis. I've flown with many companies, and foreigners behave like this too. It all depends on upbringing."
