Here's how to go viral online: An American flight attendant has demonstrated not only her acrobatics skills, but also a well-known skill of air crew members: she closed the storage compartments above the passenger seats using her feet.

Fortunately, and unlike other viral flight videos that run on the net, she did so while wearing shoes, rather than barefoot.



The flight attendant, Lindsey O'Brien, 35, filmed the video at Philadelphia Airport in the United States.

She and her colleagues waited on the plane after landing, and ahead of the arrival of new passengers.

One of the flight attendants offered to try and close four storage compartments while standing with her hands on the back of the seats, using only her legs.

"I used to practice yoga, and I was also a cheerleader in sports games, so I have strong core muscles. I wanted to see if I could do that," she says.

Watch the flight attendant close the storage compartments

20 attempts until the execution is paid

O'Brien, who has been working as a flight attendant for more than six years, adds that this task is far more difficult than it seems from watching the video.

"I tried several times, and each time I was able to close only one cell, but the idea was to close four cells together," she says.

According to her, no less than 20 attempts were required, until the payment was made.



In the video, she is dressed in the media, but in a way that does not reveal which airline she works for.

This is due to her desire not to publish this detail.

She bends over, using her arm strength to roll forward using the seat backs, then swings her legs up and pushes the storage compartment doors through her heels.



"My colleague and I constantly wear masks during the flight and during our stay at the airports," she says.

"It was a rare case, where we could forget about all this difficult situation - and just enjoy."
