Doo-doo-doo-doo-don’t Cry! Heartwarming Moment Plane Passengers Sing Baby Shark To Comfort Upset Boy On Six-hour Flight From Dubai
A man videotaped the moment passengers on an international aircraft united in singing “Baby Shark” to calm a crying little child, and the video has gone viral.
Passengers on a FlyDubai aircraft from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Tirana, Albania, had an unexpected reaction to a small kid whose father tried unsuccessfully to console him during the five-hour journey.
Parikshit Balochi, a 33-year-old Dubai-based radio DJ, documented the touching event on Instagram, noting, “everyone on the plane passed the vibe check!!”
As the passengers clap and sing along to the catchy children’s song, the young boy begins to glance around and relax. It’s no wonder that the entire plane knew the song; earlier this year, “Baby Shark” became the first YouTube video to reach 10 billion views.
The toddler was seated close to Balochi and “was weeping incessantly,” according to Storyful.
“At first, those sitting around him tried to divert him individually, but when that failed, a group of guys, including myself, began singing ‘Baby Shark,’ and more people joined in,” he explained.
Balochi told Insider, “There’s no doubt that crying babies are annoying on a flight.” He believes the film was well received because it reminds people that “some tolerance is required.” It’s just a kid; it won’t be the end of the world.”
The video has received 8.3 million views and thousands of positive comments after being shared on Instagram and TikTok.
“We need more of these folks in the world…” Katal, an Auckland-Jammu resident, made a comment.
“Can you imagine what could happen if we all worked together rather than against each other?” Sarah Beckwith made a point.
Tina Viik wrote, “Never underestimate the kindness of strangers, love it.”
The encouraging film seemed to have a special effect on the other parents.

“When they say it takes a village to raise a child, it’s true,” said sisanda_nkinqa.
“Really great to see this,” Diyan0210 observed. “Unless you are a parent, you would not understand the difficulties that parents have when flying by airline with their small children.”
“My two-year-old will be flying with American Airlines next week.” BDuck implored, “Please have this type of enthusiasm for me.”
“I’m flying with my kid for the first time next month; let’s hope everyone is as nice as today,” Mel added.
The boy, as well as the man and woman who were traveling with him, have not been named, but other parents have expressed their gratitude on social media.
“I thought to myself, ‘wow, this is a cool moment,’ so I took out my phone and started recording,” Balochi told Insider.
