We have all been on a plane where there is a baby or child that is upset. A child incessantly crying is almost a staple of any journey. This particular incidence however, screamed a reactionary man in response to the screaming child.
Keep reading to know more about this terrible situation which happened while people were in air!
One man was on board a Southwest Airlines flight in April 2023 alongside a baby who couldn’t quite calm down. When the plane was stuck in a holding pattern because of bad weather, the man wound up throwing a tantrum over the baby’s non-stop crying, as airline staff and other passengers attempted to calm him down to no avail.
This male passenger didn’t choose to take the situation in stride, but voiced his frustration by shouting and ended up giving the baby a run for their money in the process.
Footage of the incident spread online and has since made the news for all the wrong reasons.
In the video that was shared to TikTok, it’s easy to hear the man yelling:
“I paid for a ticket too! That child has been crying for over 40 minutes!”
Surrounded by multiple flight attendants who attempted to quell the situation, the man was clearly at the end of his tether.
“Calm the child down please! I had headphones on, I was sleeping.”
After airline workers asked the man to lower his voice, he yelled: “I’m not screaming? You want me to scream?” before continuing to yell at everyone who was trying to calm the situation.
One fellow passenger recorded the outburst and was visible on screen giggling at the situation. According to the footage, at one point when the man was told that he was yelling in the cabin, he replied, “So is the baby!” To which the flight attendant aptly replied, “You’re a man!”
It’s not clear how long it took the man to be subdued, or the baby to stop crying, but after the plane landed at its destination, the man was escorted away by police. The exact flight on which the incident took place wasn’t revealed by the airline, but the final destination was in Florida.
The video went viral after being posted to TikTok, where it’s been viewed over 215,000 times, and naturally, people had a lot to say.
