The latest incident is doing the rounds on the internet in which a man lost his temper and yelled at flight attendants over a crying baby. The incident was caught on camera and went viral in an instant.
The viral video shows the challenges of air travel, particularly when it comes to crying babies. While it can be quite frustrating for other passengers, it’s important to remember that babies often cry while traveling on a plane due to changes in air pressure or discomfort, and it’s not always something that can be easily resolved.
However, It’s also important to remember that flight attendants are there to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers, and they should not be subjected to abuse or harassment. It’s okay to feel frustrated, taking out that frustration on others is not acceptable and it will never be acceptable.
The video first appeared on TikTok under “Aggressive passenger causes a diversion” before going viral on other social media platforms.
When the unidentified man got engaged in a heated argument with two flight attendants, a passenger on the flight recorded the incident. To express his frustration, the angry passenger is recorded hurling expletives at the flight crew several times.

“I am not part of the community that believes children/babies shouldn’t fly. However, I do believe certain communities do not properly manage their children in public, and I understand why that might drive someone to lose their mind.”

“You’re yelling,” one crew member can be heard saying. “So is the baby,” says the enraged man. At one point in the video, the woman seated next to the angry passenger is seen burying her face in her hands in a frustrated gesture.
When the flight came to a halt in Orlando, the man was asked to exit the plane. But he refuses and is even seen expressing his frustration to a group of cops. Police officers eventually debearded the man. He then got arrested.
The crying baby (which sounds more like a toddler than a baby-baby) magically stops crying halfway through this man’s rant which leads me to believe the people they were traveling with could’ve done more to meet whatever need they were expressing.

Another user stated that airplanes are modes of public transportation. Fly private if you don’t like it.

One person stated, “It’s bad parenting when kids fuss for that long. Poor napping, food, and emotional nurturing management. Simple as that. Also, if they normally spank the child at home to get it quiet and cannot spank it on the plane, they have conditioned it to not know how to calm down through other means.”
When kids fuss that long it’s simply bad parenting. Poor nap & food & emotional nurturing mgmt. Pure and simple. Also, if they normally spank the kid at home to make it be quiet & can’t spank it on the plane they conditioned it to not know how to calm down through other means.

Another said, “Sometimes babies and toddlers are inconsolable.” This occasionally happens on flights. Yes, it is inconvenient, but this isn’t a church where the parent can remove the child. Sometimes there is absolutely nothing a parent can do.”
Sometimes babies and toddlers are inconsolable. Sometimes this happens on flights. Yes, it can be annoying but this isn’t church where the parent can just remove the child. Sometimes there is really NOTHING that a parent can do. I know this from first hand experience.
