Russian flight crew smoking pot mid-flight
You really have to see this clip to believe it. It shows what appears to be the pilot and one flight attendant smoking pot from a home made bong bottle on their flight.
The description says it is an Aeroflot plane, but I've seen others claim it is "just" a freight plane, which would explain why none of the passengers walked to the galley to ask about the smell (of to see if they could join the fun).
By the end of the clip the 2 are clearly pretty buzzed. I just hope the pilot has a competent first officer up front, or it's going to be a bumpy ride. If anyone has more information on the origin of the clip, feel free to leave us a comment!

wonder if that's a "chronic" occurance or just once in a blue moon.

4:20 Airlines! This is awesome.. where do I sign up? Nothing passes the time during a long flight like a nice
(homemade) bong. Throw in a semi-hot Russian chick? Aw, man.. sign me up!

A couple dressed as airline employees in what looks like some kind of galley, sucking smoke out of a homemade bong. We never see if this is actually on a plane; we never have any proof these two are airline employees; we never see them actually smoke pot! I say hoax!

I have to agree its fake. 1) there is way too much loose clutter for an airline galley. galley appears dirty. the girl never clears the smoke from the bottle and the substance she was "preping" looked more like hashish or opium than regular bud.

sorry guys thats hash not pot

If it's not real, then they did an excellent job on the sound. You can hear a change in airpressure and engine speed at all of the edits. Does a cargo plane usually have a galley this big? Also, why would a cargo plane have a flight attendant.

I noticed two more things. The liquid in the glass is moving like the plane is in motion. Also this pilot may be pilot hitching a ride with another crew. These Hitch-hiking pilots are aptly named "deadheads". Also being that it is a capitan and flight attendant, I'm sure they know how to disable the smoke warning system so that the flight crew operating the aircraft wouldn't know.

Why would there be a stewardess on a freight flight?

It looks like a lower lobe galley. The galley appears much larger than one on psgr level and notice the ladder. Therefore psgrs and other crew members would be totally unaware however it looks like someone else is holding the camera at times.

I've never been on a plane that has a drinking foutain that needs electricity and plumbing. That is completely fake. She's cut though.

I guess 30,000 feet isn't high enough.

It looks like it's in a lower lobe galley, which means it's a galley that you take a elevator down to underneath the main deck.

This is wrong

THAT IS SO STAGED! THE POT IS COOL, BUT PILOTS, I DON'T THINK SO:)
J. Mar 13th 2009 5:13PM
I doubt it was staged. Hope they get fired along with any other dope smoking fools working for the airlines. They will probably get their next jobs driving school buses.

Isn't there a filter on this "joint"
jack Mar 13th 2009 5:35PM
you all assume that the russians have the same laws, equipment, rules & regulations as American airlines.... think again.

I started smoking pot as a Huey gunship pilot in Vietnam. Unlike booze does, and pop myth thinks pot does, the weed does not impair your physical control. On a hot night mission under the parachute flares in bad weather shooting rockets and miniguns, and getting tracers back red and green like golfball comets... wooooah, far f**king out!
