Watch: Man loses his cool after crying baby in flight, shouts at flight attendant

Traveling on a plane with kids is no easy task, as a number of reasons can make them feel cranky midway through the journey. But the situation worsens when they start making noise or crying leaving parents as well as fellow passengers uncomfortable. Something similar happened recently on a Southwest Airlines flight to Florida. The footage of a man losing his temper over a crying child has gone viral on social media. In the clip, the elders are seen shouting at the child’s parents and the flight attendants who tried to defuse the situation.

The video first surfaced on TikTok under the title “The belligerent traveler takes up the cause” before being re-shared on other social media platforms. The incident was recorded by a passenger on the flight when the unidentified man got into a heated argument with two flight attendants. The irate passenger has been recorded several times hurling abuses at the flight crew to express his frustration.

A crew member can be heard saying, “You’re yelling.” The angry man replies, “So is the child.” At one point in the video, the woman sitting next to the distraught passenger was caught holding her head in her hands in a tensed gesture. Finally, when the flight came to a stop in Orlando, the man was asked to get off the plane. But he refused to do so and was also seen explaining his frustration to a group of police. Eventually, the man was flagged down by police officers. Watch the video here:

The video has taken the internet by storm, with some criticizing the passenger for her rude antics, while others have taken her side, understanding her desperation. One user commented, ‘If you can’t handle the sound of a crying baby or toddler, flying or being in public might not be right for you. Personally, I’m embarrassed by my inability to deal with something so basic that happens all the time. But I believe it is part of being a functioning adult.

Another agreed, “How do you manage a child who is in pain due to air compression or decompression? If you are so vulnerable to a crying child, instead of sympathizing with the parent and child, So maybe stay out of public places.

But one user shared, “I’m trying to hear him.”

Another explained, “This is why I wish airlines could offer kid-free flights! I’ll pay extra, no questions asked.”

Southwest Airlines addressed the incident during a conversation with Today Online, claiming they do not have details about the flight, but commend the crew members for their professionalism. The airline also issued an apology to other onboard customers who had to witness the argument.
