A Qatar Airways plane was halfway through a 14-hour flight when a four-year-old girl wandered the aisle holding a metal fork. Moments later a woman woke up with a sharp pain in her leg—the child had stabbed her. The whole thing was caught on video and now has over 23 million views.
The hurt passenger held up her sandal and shouted, “I’m going to f**k her up,” while flight crew rushed to calm everyone down. The girl’s mom was asleep and only woke up later. She told staff her child was “just trying to hand over the fork,” and gave no apology.
Other travelers said the child had been roaming free for hours, turning off seat screens and crawling under chairs. One passenger even asked to move seats to get away from the noise.
People online are angry. Some blame the parents for not watching their child. Others want kid-free zones on planes. Experts say metal forks are usually for business-class meals and question how a toddler got one.
Qatar Airways has not made a public statement yet, but inside sources say the airline is reviewing how they hand out cutlery and how to stop kids from walking around unattended.
The woman who was stabbed says she is okay, but still upset. “I should feel safe on a plane,” she told a friend. The video ends with crew taking the fork away and the child being led back to her seat.
The lesson: even at 30,000 feet, basic rules still apply—watch your child and say sorry when something goes wrong.
