AVIATION

20 April 2023: Orlando, Florida

A passenger upset over a baby’s extended period of crying let out an outburst of his own on a Southwest Airlines flight. The man threw a fit that forced police to meet the plane when it landed. After the baby had been crying for an extended period of time, the man demanded flight attendants do something about it and began yelling. A video posted to social media shot by a passenger on the plane, shows the flight attendant telling the adult male passenger, “Sir, you are yelling,” and saying, “It’s a baby,’ in response to the man demanding that the baby be made to be quiet. The flight was diverted to Orlando, Florida, but was originally set to go to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The man was met at the gate by airport police.
