A video that surfaced online on Tuesday has captured a passenger causing a disturbance on a Southwest Airlines flight headed to Orlando, due to a crying toddler on the stalled flight.
The clip shows tensions escalating on the plane headed to Florida, as it was held in Palm Beach because of inclement weather. The unnamed passenger grew increasingly frustrated with the baby’s crying and began shouting at the child, parents, and Southwest flight attendants attempting to calm the situation.
In the video, the passenger is heard saying, “I paid for a ticket to have a f–king comfortable flight. That child has been crying for 40 minutes!”
When the crew requested that t he passenger stop yelling, he became even more irate. He replied, “Did that motherf–ker pay extra to yell? I don’t give a f–k. F–k, lower that baby’s voice. F–k that!”
The video ended with security and police officers at the Orlando Airport surrounding the passenger, who was being escorted out while arguing that the parents were responsible for not keeping the infant quiet.
It’s unclear if the man faced any charges from authorities for his tirade.
Southwest released a statement apologizing to the other passengers who had to experience such unacceptable behavior and commended their crew for handling the challenging situation with professionalism.
