Officials in Indonesia say both pilots on a domestic flight with 153 passengers fell asleep in the middle of the January trip. The captain got permission to take a nap at cruising altitude, and he woke up to find the co-pilot had fallen asleep. The plane had veered off course and radio calls went unanswered, but the plane eventually landed safely.

Why tf are these newscasters laughing about it, though? 130 people could've been killed due to negligence, and they're giggling.
Oops.....maybe the plight of the missing 370.....
Ahhh, the benefits of a good power nap. For that wide awake, yet slightly off course, feeling.
Auto-pilot nap time option engaged.
That's not an excuse. Don't fly if you're tired
At least the plane didn’t go missing. Malaysian Airlines take notes
The news says this was a domestic flight. Domestic - not International (who might have 3 pilots on shift). How long was this flight going to be that they could give permission to someone to take a nap?
You are laughing because nothing bad happen, but that is scary. That was not okay. How come both of them fell asleep?!! If something bad would have happened you would not be laughing. No matter what the reasons were.
They almost made all pasengers fall for a long sleep
Oh how funny 😂😂😂😂😂, All passangers must have been laughing,when they found out
153 passengers could die just because those twins who keep awake the irresponsible pilot. Are you kidding? These lives doesn’t matter to you? Take parental leave and take care of your family and don’t put people’s lives in danger.
Were they not repremanded? They could have crashed!!
At least they weren't drunk😮
In case the co pilot might fell asleep the cabin crew who serves the cockpit should check on them every 30min that’s how it should be
WOW 🤯
I guess it was like that scene in "National Lampoon's Vacation" where the camera pans over the kids in the backseat, both asleep, then the wife, asleep, then Chevy Chase at the wheel... ASLEEP.
The Chillest Country in the World
Glad they think it’s funny.
Why would you want to nap while on a plane and as the pilot at that
This is NOT funny.
