An astonishing spectacle on the plane to the south. The choir wanted to do the anthem in the plane. I conducted the entire plane including the passengers. Everyone was really into it. When it was almost over the stewardess suddenly started telling me to sit down. I couldn't do that because everyone was so into it and it was the anthem.
Then after I sat she starting to lecture me that the passengers were being upset. The passengers were indeed upset because of the insensitivity of the flight attendant in trying to stop the anthem. Then they tried to claim it was turbulence and it was for my own safety. But the indicator light wasn't on.
Afterwards the flight attendants made several more scenes. They also denied the whole thing about telling me I was annoying the passengers, insisting it all was all about turbulence. There was in fact no turbulence at the time. Later, there was a lot of turbulence but they didn't bother to announce it.
What could have been a profound and moving moment was screwed up by a couple of ignorant people.
