These vacationers really raised the roof — but, no, they weren’t partying.
Freaked-out air travelers were forced to hold up the roof of a plane after its interior suddenly caved in during a recent trip from Atlanta to Chicago on April 14.
“My homie was on a Delta flight and the ceiling collapsed,” claimed content creator Lucas Michael Payne in a clip with over 195,000 TikTok views.
Representatives for Delta Air Lines told The Post, “Delta thanks our customers for their patience and cooperation. We apologize for the delay in their travels.”
The spokesperson said that the Boeing 717’s “panel was later affixed into place so customers did not have to manually hold it during flight,” and added there were “no injuries” and the “flight continued with about a two-hour delay on another aircraft.”
Eye-popping footage of the snafu featured a group of men extending their arms upwards to support the plane’s detached top while at 30,000 feet.
“The attendants finally duct taped it after he held it up for a while,” Payne explained in the caption, punctuating his outrage with a photo of the spotty patch job.
“Delta offered 10,000 miles (basically 100 dollars),” he alleged. “They had to go back to Atlanta, wait for hours and deplane and get on another plane to Chicago.“
It’s just plane scary — but not totally unheard of.
Unfortunately, aircraft mishaps are a dime a dozen nowadays.
Terrified flyers aboard a Frontier Airlines flight from Florida feared “it was the end” when one of the plane’s wheels broke off after a hard landing at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in Puerto Rico on April 15.
And lest we forget the Delta airliner that crash-landed and flipped upside down on the runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport in February.
“Being alive feels pretty cool today,” a survivor of the chaos wrote on Instagram, grateful that neither he nor his 79 fellow passengers died amid the mayhem.
Thankfully, Payne’s pal’s life didn’t seem to be in immediate danger due to the sunken ceiling during his Delta flight.
But that didn’t stop peeved spectators — as well as a few fuming folks claiming to have been passengers on the broken-down airbus — from airing out their grievances with the airline.
“I was on this flight! Delta only gave me a hundred dollar credit,” ranted a commenter.
“Imagine if this happened during turbulence,” an online onlooker wrote.
“I was on this flight sitting in the front! It was crazy!!!,” a separate woman alleged. “Delta will only give 10k miles when people had to hold the plane together.“
“See,” another joked, “this why I drive my car.”
