Orthodox Jewish man photographed covering himself in plastic bag during flight because faith forbids him to fly over cemeteries

A startling photo of a plane passenger who wrapped himself in a plastic bag for his flight has hit the internet. The man dressed entirely in black beneath folds of plastic, sightly bows his head beneath the tied ends seen piled on his head. The passengers behind him strain to catch a look. The photo was posted to Reddit on Thursday amid suggestions that the man is a Kohein, religious descendant of the priests of ancient Israel, who are banned from flying over cemeteries. Many wrap themselves in plastic bags as a compromise measure.
