A Spanish pilot pulled a cruel prank on Argentina supporters aboard a flight by falsely informing them that their nation had won the World Cup, leading to exuberant celebrations. A video that has gone viral online captures the moment when a plane filled with Argentina fans erupted in joy upon hearing the announcement made over the aircraft’s PA system.
Passengers sporting the distinctive blue and white stripes of Argentina leaped from their seats and cheered enthusiastically upon hearing the news. Many of them had missed watching the game live due to being in-flight, leaving them reliant on the pilot to reveal the final outcome, which he did in a rather heartless manner.
Via the intercom, the pilot proclaimed that Argentina had emerged victorious, prompting a surge of excitement throughout the cabin. Unaware of the actual events during the game, including their team’s dominance, a red card, and a last-minute goal by Spain, the passengers embraced the news with unbridled enthusiasm.
The jubilant atmosphere quickly turned somber as the pilot disclosed that it was all a prank and that Spain was, in fact, the World Cup winners. The cheers faded into a profound silence as the Argentina fans onboard were left crestfallen.
The pilot’s risky joke coincided with the real-life chaos following the game, with players engaging in altercations and Argentinians staging protests. Fortunately, there were no reports of disorder aboard the aircraft amidst the unfolding drama.
