Airplane Passengers Sing 'I Believe I Can Fly' : Video Goes Viral

An airplane’s “I Believe I Can Fly” video went viral after a group of passengers, stuck for hours on a grounded Allegiant Air flight, made the best of a bad situation by breaking out into song and karaoke-ing some R. Kelly.

The Harlem Shake may be banned by the FAA, but the airplane’s “ I Believe I Can Fly” number didn’t seem to attract the eye of any meddling bureaucrats — or at least we’d hope their first concern would be a plane full of people stuck sweating in 112 plus degree heat without food or water and not an unapproved rendition of the 90s slow jam.

A video of the airplane’s “I Believe I Can Fly” number was uploaded to YouTube, by user and apparent passenger Dustin Kaelberer.

Kaelberer and his fellow Allegiant fliers were trapped in a travel nightmare by many accounts, stranded for a total five hours across two planes at Las Vegas McCarren Airport — in a situation so hot and terrible that a few passengers reportedly suffered vomiting spells, bloody noses and fainting.

But others seemed to endure the ordeal more placidly, as the airplane’s “I Believe I Can Fly” clip attests. The entire aisle is seen listening to the song on one dude’s speakers, before the chorus comes along and the plane belts out the “I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky, I think about it every night and day, I spread my wings and fly away” part in unison. Remarkably, most were laughing as well
