Southwest Airlines Traveler Has Screaming Meltdown At Gate In Now

A traveler at the Denver International Airport was spotted screaming at an airline employeeand the tense moment has since gone viral.

A

which was shared on TikTok on Friday, Nov. 21, shows a woman in white sweatpants and an olive-green crop top at the counter of a Southwest Airlines gate.

“Do you feel safe?” she screamed at fellow travelers at the start of the clip.

“How dare you treat me this way?” she then yelled at a Southwest employee, later shouting, “Who are you? Why is our plane late? Why are we not boarding?”

Later in the video, the woman threatened to sue the airline employee and implied she would get the employee fired.

“This is not okay!” she continued.

The woman was seemingly then bumped from the flight, though it is unclear if the decision was due to her outburst or to routine overbooking.

The video then showed two members of airport security approaching the woman as people in the terminal cheered their arrival. Text over the footage read, “the cops took her away lmao.”

In a response in the video’s comments section, the original poster said that she went to check on the airline employee after the encounter and said “she had tears in her eyes.”
