FAA Investigating Frontier Airlines After Colorado College Ultimate Frisbee Team Makes Harlem Shake Video Mid Flight



LA Times - The Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday said it is investigating a video, titled “Harlem Shake Frontier Flight 157,” that shows Colorado College’s ultimate Frisbee team doing the meme with their fellow passengers. ”That was my Ultimate Frisbee team and a bunch of random people as well,” said senior team captain Dan Eppstein, 21. “Everyone who was on that flight joined in.” Eppstein said the team asked a Frontier Airlines flight attendant if it was OK to shoot the video. They then asked the permission of everyone else on the flight and no one said they would mind. A spokeswoman for Frontier Airlines confirmed the FAA investigation. She said the airline couldn’t comment but did say that “all safety measures were followed and the seat belt sign was off.” The video shows a couple of people wearing a mask and one person with a banana costume. After the song’s bass drops, the video gets very shaky, which might be why the FAA is conducting its investigation.
