A TikTok video showing an outburst of an unruly and unmasked United Airlines passenger after asking him to turn his phone off has become the latest viral post in a growing trend of wild travelers.
The video clip shows an unidentified man taking off his mask and yelling at other passengers while threatening to find the personal information of the flight crew. According to Travel Noire, the accident occurred on a flight to Los Angeles when the man refused to turn off his phone before the flight.
When another passenger tries to intervene to help calm the man, the video shows a man without a mask saying, "Take care of your business because I'm going to break your neck." Police later arrived at the scene to escort the man out of the trip.
The original video, posted by a user, has garnered more than 6.4 million views on the platform and is one of the few videos that have gone viral recently. Two other videos of the incident were also posted, and they collectively garnered nearly 4 million views on TikTok.
Federal law currently requires all passengers to wear a face mask that covers their entire mouth and nose throughout the flight to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Passengers who do not adhere to these protocols "may be refused carriage, subject to fines, and may also lose their travel privileges on future United flights," according to United's website.
In recent months, airline crew members have reported numerous sabotage incidents, including hitting passengers, yelling, and pushing staff. These moments were captured on video and circulated online, sparking more intense conversations about travel safety and COVID-19 precautions.
Last month, Hawaiian Airlines had to divert two flights within 12 hours after one customer scared the attendant and refused to wear a mask on a JetBlue plane in September when a passenger strangled a flight attendant with a tie and begged to be shot.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, there were nearly 4,000 reports of disorderly behavior and more than 2,800 cases of passengers refusing to wear masks in 2021. In a statement in August, the organization said it had proposed more than $1 million in fines for passengers. General.
TSA employees previously reported that the increase in undisciplined airline passengers made them want to quit their jobs.
"Many of my co-workers and I have always felt like bastards of the federal government," said one examiner in Baltimore, who asked not to be identified for fear of jeopardizing his job. "For many of us, it feels like retirement for a day approaching."
