The singing fanatics story originates in a Facebook post by an evangelist named Jack Jensz Jr. “Worshipping our King Jesus 30,000 feet in the air!” he exclaims, not mentioning “Intruding on unwilling passengers 30,000 feet in the air!”
There are some “Yay Jesus!” comments and some very hostile ones.

Notice the comments, folks are a lot braver on the interwebs. Say something in person, people! Jeez…
There are a hell of a lot more people on the interwebs than there were on that flight, too. It’s hardly a fair comparison. It’s not fear that inhibits people in person in the moment, it’s a whole complex of ideas and feelings.
It’s also after-the-fact on the internet. Speaking up on the flight might have inspired the singers to get louder, or might have drawn physical abuse or threats.
@2 I think one that would inhibit me is not wanting to be rude. Two wrongs and all that.
“Busking On A Plane” coming soon to a theatre near you!
The local commuter train system in the Bay Area is sometimes subject to this. One difference is these are young kids who are a lot more talented than this feeble minded warbler for Jayzus but it is still annoying.
I’ve lived and worked in Chicago and the inner ‘burbs my entire life. I enjoy buskers, and usually try to tip them when I can, even if it’s just pocket-change. They add to the mix that is part of what I like about city life.
This wasn’t busking. This was proselytizing to a weak-ass rhythm.
