Inwood woman’s airplane airdrop viral on TikTok

Devin Hance, from Inwood, boarded a flight to Florida recently when her nose picked up a not to pleasant aroma. Trying to figure where it had emanated from, Hance airdropped a message on her phone to fellow passengers, who were thinking the same thing.

On the “Kelly Clarkson Show” as part of “What I’m Liking” segment Hance spoke with Clarkson. “The message Hance sent out was “If you are farting, please stop.” Hance’s airdropping went viral on TikTok.

She said that “almost immediately you could hear laughter erupt” throughout the plane. “My hope, Kelly, was that the culprit would receive the mention,” Hance said on the show.

Receiving airdrops, Hance and the passengers were trying to find out whop did it, where they were sitting. Through the airdrop messages, Hance connected with a few passengers and on the onboard tablets played three games of Battleship which she won.

“This whole thing turned into a tablet airdrop party,” Hance said.

Clarkson noted that Hance had a lesson for anyone in close quarters.

“Have some compassion for your seat neighbors,” Hance said. “Planes are stuffy as it is, so if you could go to the restroom before you can board or just relieve yourself. I too have compassion, I know people have IBS, but is quite unbearable.”

Hance said she did not mean to be funny she wanted to solve the problem. And Hance collected a $1,000 prize from one of Clarkson’s sponsors.
