FORT LAUDERDALE — We’ve all heard of air rage, which has resulted in many incidents of in-flight brawls and altercations. But a woman at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has now gone viral for a rage-filled tirade on the ground, at the JetBlue check-in counter.
Caught on video by Dre London, the manager of musician Post Malone, the unidentified woman is seen furiously yelling at a staff member in front of fellow passengers. “Get me out of here!” she repeatedly shrieks, while launching herself at the staff member, lifting herself off the ground and leaning over the counter.
She then calls the staff member a “rapist” and threatens that she has a “f***ing gun on me because I’m homeless!”
The staff member is seen on the phone calling security, who arrives shortly after to detain the woman. In another video posted by London, the woman is seen calmly sitting on the ground with her head down and her arms behind her back.
On Instagram, London wrote: “So yesterday I was stuck in the airport for 10hrs as #JetBlue flight was canceled due to computer failure. They said we would send another plane from New York but this too many hrs. While in Fort Lauderdale airport everyone remained calm apart from this woman who went crazy on #JetBlue staff called him a rapist & she said she had a gun on me + many crazy things in front of kids.”
Following the incident, a JetBlue spokesperson told Yahoo Lifestyle: “On Jan. 6, crew members at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport requested assistance from local law enforcement after a customer was denied boarding for indications of intoxication and became disruptive.”
