Not on purpose, but there are YouTube videos of pilots accidentally doing in flight announcements on guard. Maybe there's some plane error that is sometimes causing the error the other way around.
I know Unites Airlines used to make its pilot’s atc communications available on “channel 11”, but I think that all stopped post 9/11.

I'm glad you brought that up because (no joke) nobody can actually explain how aerodynamic lift works, much less how a plane can fly upside down: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explai...
Stick your hand out the car window doing 60, and tilt it back. That's how they stay up there!
I’m surprised that no one is considering the possibility that it’s a ghost?
Obviously not the most probable explanation, but I found the story interesting.

Why not the alien soul crystals that enable flight trying to break free?

How helicopters can turn directly upside down, and fly that way[1], without reversing the direction of their props, that I don't get. (Thinking about it now, I think it turns from a helicopter to a hovercraft? Eg, this is a ground effect?)

Also, tangentially, Magnus effect planes are a thing:
Why would there be a "medical intercom" as one quoted redditor suggested? Surely in the event of a medical emergency the crew can communicate about it with the same systems they use for everything else?
Flight attendants can plug in an aviation headset with a very, very long cord, and the pilots patch it into one of the radios in the cockpit. This allows the flight attendants to talk to a doctor on the ground while they're physically next to a passenger's seat.
If it’s a hack of any sort someone is taking their life in their hands because being caught tampering with any commercial airline systems could mean significantly jail time. Cleaning crews and other staff have enough time on the plane to do something… I’m thinking like an Adafruit Waveshield with a timer or something.
If it’s a ghost, it seems like a horny adolescent one.
The dongle idea is interesting but are we assuming someone is plugging in a dongle and making noises, on all these flights, sometimes for the duration of the flight and nobody finds these dongles?

>least intelligent Based on what?
The immediacy of the format is amazing but the content is awful.
