Three clips show how meals, trays and plastic cutlery lie in the aisles of the flight from Luanda to Lisbon on March 23.
Food and drink stains can be seen all over the cabin, including on the cracked and perforated ceiling panels.
You can even see a plastic tray wedged into the opening above the cargo bins.

TAAG said “unfavorable atmospheric conditions” caused the turbulence, which reportedly hit as the plane flew over the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Eight passengers required medical attention and a doctor on board assisted one of the injured.
TAAG said in a statement that an ambulance and medical team were sent to Lisbon airport, where the flight landed at 8:37 p.m., seven hours and 18 minutes after takeoff.
Portuguese media reported that many passengers showed symptoms of anxiety.
Heavy rainfall in the Angolan capital caused a flight to Lisbon scheduled later in the day to be postponed due to the slippery runway.
The European Union banned TAAG aircraft from entering European airspace in July 2007 due to safety concerns.
The ban was fully lifted in April 2019, after several partial relaxations over the years.
