A passenger travelling from Honolulu to Minneapolis captured the alarming scene mid-air. According to the passenger's account, crew members hurried to rectify the situation. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
'I’m not an expert, but this doesn’t look great,' captioned the freaked-out flier in her clip. The footage depicts two members of the Delta crew swiftly arriving at the scene and endeavoring to reposition the dislodged panel. Throughout the video, they can be seen adjusting the panel.

Another user shared, 'Boeing has created a new Jigsaw-style game where passengers must assemble the Aeroplan while it's at altitude before it crashes.'
A comment read, 'When Boeing and Ikea collaborate.'
An individual explained, 'This PSU unit contains items such as personal ventilation and flight attendant call buttons, as well as oxygen masks in case of cabin depressurization. While it may appear concerning, this is relatively harmless unless it were to fall on someone. It is a straightforward fix and occurs fairly frequently as the clips that secure them in place often break if passengers tamper with them. I know this because I work on them every day as an aircraft interior mechanic.'
Another commenter wrote, 'I would have stood up a lot sooner to help because just watching this made me anxious.'
