AVIATION

20 April Orlando, Florida

A passenger had a meltdown after listening to a crying infant on board an airplane. In a viral video, the passenger is seen yelling at a flight attendant to make the baby be quiet. “We are in a fucking tin can with a baby in a goddamn echo chamber,” the man was caught on video saying. When he was told to lower his voice by airline staff, he responded saying they should “lower that baby’s voice.” The baby had been crying for half an hour when the passenger began yelling. The plane was diverted to Orlando. Police met the plane and spoke with the passenger but he was not arrested. Southwest released a statement saying they appreciated the patience of the other customers who had to “experience such unacceptable behavior.”
