Advertisements really are everywhere these days aren’t they. But I think we can all agree that one place they shouldn’t be blasted is the cockpit of a passenger plane when it is flying over a major city.
Turns out sometimes this does happen. On December 5 a passenger plane was flying over Xi’an when there was interference on the radio frequency. What came through were not orders from ground control but rather the murmurings of pharmaceutical advertisements.
The Civil Aviation Authority, obviously perturbed by these unwanted advertisements, contacted the Xi’an Radio Monitoring Station. The Stationmaster had this to say, “they also detected this signal, and determine it was coming from FM105.1 radio frequency, but this frequency modulation is not put on record, so it is an illegal radio."
Luckily no damage was caused, unless of course the pilot, won over by the advertisements went out and bought some dodgy medicine. Someone should go check on him.
