This is the moment angry passengers revolted on a Wizz Air flight after being stuck for two hours in 37.7C heat aboard a delayed plane on the runway. The woman told of how people were 'scrambling' and becoming 'dehydrated' as the video pans to rows of passengers using safety cards to fan themselves. The aircraft doors had been shut and the air-conditioning had not been turned on, according to the passenger. She said: 'I am a doctor, I work in emergency services and this is a hazard for life. 'The temperature is 37.7 degrees, with the doors shut and no air conditioning.'People are scrambling, there are kids, and [people] are dehydrated.'Disgruntled passengers can be seen standing and demanding that the aircraft door be opened. The flight attendant can be heard telling the irate passenger: 'We are just waiting for the engine to start.' The flight was a Bulgaria-bound service from London Luton that had been delayed for more than two hours The woman told of how people were 'scrambling' and becoming 'dehydrated' as the video pans to rows of passengers using safety cards to fan themselvesSome passengers appeared to be shouting and others had their tops off to handle the heat. The flight was a Bulgaria-bound service from London Luton that had been delayed for more than two hours. There was no communication from the pilot or the crew to the passengers, according to the X post. High temperatures can be dangerous for the body. Around 37C is roughly equivalent to normal core body temperature, which makes it more difficult for the body to cool itself. A plane with a cabin temperature of 37.7C can significantly increase the risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke - especially for vulnerable people. Britain's third heatwave of the year could be its longest on record as temperatures intensified to 36C yesterday. The conditions could yet be record-breaking, given the historic 1976 heatwave lasted for 16 days in a row with at least 30C in London each day from June 23 to July 8.Wizz Air were contacted for comment.
