A man was shocked to see an airline worker applying tape to the wings of a plane he was boarding. He said he’d like a refund for the flight. However, viewers clued him in that the plane was both perfectly safe to board and covered in a very expensive adhesive.
TikToker Miguel Savage (@skeffreyactivity) is an Arizona local. He saw a person applying tape to the wing of a Spirit Airlines plane right before it took off. Concerned, he posted a video exposing the moment, which has since garnered 10.2 million views. But, commenters emphasized that he didn’t have anything to fear. They took the opportunity to explain what “speed tape” was. They added that the adhesive was just another part of the airline industry that many people don’t know about.
