Post by bunniefuu »

[intense music]

- [Narrator] In airplanes

- Shut the (bleep)--

- [Attendant] Don't go in there.

- [Passenger] What you gonna do?

- [Narrator] And airports,

people are acting up

and acting out.

[crowd screams]

- [Narrator] More than ever.

- [Narrator] In recent years,

unruly passenger incidents

have more than doubled,

and all of it is

caught on camera.

So fasten your seat belts.

- [Passenger] No, this

is wrong, oh my God!

- [Narrator] We're headed for

the not so friendly skies.

[intense music]

- [Narrator] According to

airline officials, in Atlanta,

this woman boarded

a flight to Vegas

without a boarding pass,

but she seems to think

it's the airline

that's in the wrong.

- How y'all gonna

inconvenience me?

I get on the plane and y'all

tellin' me I gotta get off, no.

Today I'm not, and I'll

make sure it's recorded.

- [Narrator] She missed

an earlier Vegas flight

because she alleges the

airline closed the gate early.

The woman then

reportedly sprinted past

the boarding agent of

another flight to Vegas

and took a seat.

Now she's live streaming

her refusal to deplane.

- What is up is I'm

sitting on this airline.

- And she tellin' me I

gotta get off the plane.

I'm trying to go to Las Vegas.

- [Narrator] An officer

asks her nicely

to chat about the

issue up front.

- Huh? Yeah.

- [Passenger] Who?

- Come talk to me up here.

- [Passenger] Oh, you mean I

gotta take my seat belt off?

- [Passenger] You could

talk to me right here.

- [Passenger] Well, I'ma

make sure everybody hear

what (bleep) got to say.

- [Passenger] I'm not

getting off this plane.

Y'all see this? I let

the arm rest down

because I'm not

getting off this plane

to negotiate with no t*rrorists.

- [Passenger] Yeah.

- [Narrator] The air crew

order everyone off the plane.

- [Passenger] I'm

not getting off.

- [Narrator] The back

and forth between

the woman and other

passengers continues.

- [Passenger] Y'all

better all get off

'cause if I can't go

to Las Vegas, Nevada,

neither can y'all.

- [Narrator] And

it's getting heated.

- [Passenger] You ain't

going to heaven either.

- [Passenger] You going to hell.

- Oh, yeah.

- [Passenger] That's hell

that way, hell that way.

- [Narrator] Not even

the flight crew is safe

from her tirade.

- [Passenger] What you

lookin' at, Mr. Pilot?

(bleep), you get paid

by the hour, what?

How you gonna look

at me like that?

You get paid by the hour. Huh?

I tried the cop.

- [Narrator] After the other

passengers have gotten off

and things have cooled down,

an Atlanta police officer

steps in to reason with her.

- How you doing Mr.

Baker, Sergeant Baker?

- I'm Sergeant Baker

with the Atlanta police.

- [Passenger] Yeah.

- I'm the police supervisor.

- Okay.

- From what I understand, you

have been denied boarding

and you are not

going on this flight.

- [Passenger] I don't care

about going on the flight.

I care about making

a difference.

- [Narrator] Finally,

the officer seems

to get through to the woman.

- So--

- Huh?

- What I need you to do--

- Yeah, yeah.

- Get off the plane.

- Yeah, I sure

will, Mr. Officer.

- Get your stuff.

- Uh-huh, I got my stuff.

You got your stuff, Mr.

Officer Sergeant Baker?

I'ma get off, I say, when

Jesus tell me to get off,

I'ma get off.

- [Narrator] She refuses

to stop streaming.

- Yeah, ma'am.

- Nah, I'm not doing that one.

- Ma'am.

- (bleep).

I'm not putting in

there, it's recording.

- Ma'am.

- Go ahead.

- [Narrator] According

to court documents,

the woman was charged

with criminal trespass,

but the case was disposed.

She later apologized

for the incident.

As this plane prepares to

depart Miami International,

an argument between two

passengers begins to escalate.

- [Narrator] Passengers

record a nasty dispute

between a married couple

right before takeoff.

- [Narrator] The wife is

apparently accusing her husband

of having a wandering eye

and the flight crew tries

to calm the situation down.

- [Narrator] The woman's

belligerent behavior continues.

- [Narrator] As a flight

attendant steps in.

- [Narrator] The woman and

her husband continue to argue.

- [Narrator] Suddenly,

this verbal altercation

turns physical.

[passengers screaming]

[tense music]

- [Narrator] As this

plane waits to take off,

a married couple are

in a very public clash

over the husband's

alleged roving eye.

And when the plane's flight

attendants intervene

- [Narrator] All

hell breaks loose.

[passengers scream]

I'm assaulting you? (bleep).

- [Narrator] The woman

strikes her husband

from behind with a laptop.

[passengers scream]

And moves past the attendants

to collect her carry-on.

- [Narrator] She's met by

a member of the flight crew

in the aisle.

- [Narrator] Once off the plane,

the couple was met

by airport security

but reportedly

refused to cooperate.

The husband was put

on another flight.

No charges were filed

against his wife.

Days later, the husband posted

on social media that he

can't live without his wife,

but it was not clear if

they were still together.

It used to be pets

couldn't travel

in an airplane cabin.

Today, we live in a brave

new world of furry flyers,

but they must be in a carrier

and stowed under the seat,

which can be an issue because

when it comes to pets,

passenger emotions

often run high.

- [Attendant] Grab your stuff

and come with me, ma'am.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

- Oh.

- [Narrator] This woman

is being ordered off

this Atlanta to New York

flight for not complying

when asked to take

her dog off her lap.

- You're kicking me off

and you're gonna put

me on another plane?

- [Attendant] Ma'am.

- [Narrator] And she's

not taking it well.

- Oh, no, no, no, honey,

we're about to fight.

- [Passenger] Because I

didn't (bleep) do anything

to you guys to make

me 12 hours late

for my destination.

My dog was sitting on my lap.

I put him in the bag,

he's in the bag.

- [Narrator] But the promise

of a refund only seems

to make things worse.

- Because you couldn't

let my dog sit

on my (bleep) lap?

- [Attendant] Ma'am, let's go.

- [Passenger] (bleep) you.

(bleep) all of you.

- [Narrator] And that's

when the other passengers

start to get involved.

- I am! Shut the (bleep)--

- Hey!

[passengers exclaim]

- Turn your (bleep) phone off.

- [Narrator] The

woman takes issue

with a fellow passenger

recording the incident.

- Shut the (bleep)--

- Hey!

[passengers exclaim]

- [Passenger] Turn

your (bleep) phone off.

- [Narrator] And lashes out

by hurling a water bottle,

which reportedly

hits the passenger.

- Who did she hit

with the bottle?

- Why is he recording me?

- Yeah, yeah, oh, anybody--

- You just struck a

passenger with a bottle.

- Yeah, okay, (bleep) you.

- Okay, that's fine.

You talk to APD,

wait a few minutes.

- (bleep) you.

- No problem, ma'am.

Who did she just

strike with the bottle?

- The guys that's recording me

with his (bleep) cell phone.

That's who I threw it at.

- [Narrator] The

flight attendant

exercises extreme patience.

- Ma'am, calm down.

- You asked, I'm

telling you, calm down?

You guys have been

nothing but (bleep) rude.

- [Attendant] Okay,

that's fine, calm down.

- That's fine that

you guys are rude,

but I need to calm down?

- [Attendant] There's rules.

- There's rules and

I followed them.

- Nobody acting this way

flies on a flight with us.

- Okay, (bleep) you.

- Okay, won't be the first time.

- Eat (bleep), b*tch,

get out of my way.

- That's why I wanna

find out, ma'am, hold on.

- You told me to

get off your plane,

then get the (bleep)

out of my way.

- [Narrator] As

eager as she seems

to get off the plane,

there's something she

wants to address first.

- Why are they recording me?

- That's their right.

- That's their right?

And it's my right to

tell them to stop.

- [Attendant] Not throwing

anything at anybody.

- (bleep) you.

- Billy?

You called APD?

- Yeah.

- [Attendant] Sorry, guys.

- [Narrator] She appears to

strike a passenger's phone,

then finally gets off the plane.

She was not arrested and

no charges were filed.

According to witnesses,

the passenger gave everyone

the finger on her way out.

She later said in

a TV interview,

"I am sorry that

I got so upset,"

but maintained that the airline

crew weren't right either.

Airport security officers try

to handle problem travelers

without getting physical,

but sometimes altercations

just can't be avoided,

like this exchange at

Singapore's Changi airport.

- [Narrator] After

hearing reports

that this man allegedly

harassed another traveler,

two officers attempt

to detain him,

but the situation with the man,

who is apparently

intoxicated, intensifies.

- [Narrator] The man starts

listening to his headphones

and begins dancing.

The question now is how

this strange standoff

is going to end.

- [Narrator] At

Singapore's Changi airport,

after hearing reports that

this man allegedly harassed

another traveler, two officers

are attempting to detain him.

- [Narrator] As the man breaks

into a few dance moves,

the officers size him up,

then swing into action.

- [Narrator] The

officers struggle

to get the situation

under control.

- Hold up, hold up, hold up.

- [Narrator] Then things

escalate even further.

With baton in hand,

one officer strikes

the combative man.

The man then charges, appears

to hit the officer's face,

and sends him tumbling

to the floor.

Even when bystanders

try to help,

the man can't be restrained.

It finally takes

a team of officers

and airport staff

to subdue the man,

who is arrested and

later pleaded guilty

to multiple offenses, including

use of criminal force.

He was sentenced to 6-1/2

months in a Singaporean jail.

Authorities have their work

cut out for them trying

to please thousands of travelers

passing through an airport.

Often, a threat can be

very hard to anticipate.

It's approximately 5:30 a.m.

at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson

International,

and this family of five is

on their way to Disney World.

This woman in the

pink hat doesn't know

the family, but she

approaches them.

According to police reports,

the woman then appears to

try to grab the stroller.

In a desperate

panic, Mom struggles

to protect her children

as their father

comes over the help.

A scuffle ensues, and

the woman runs off.

Atlanta police officers step

in to apprehend the woman.

According to police, the woman

was speaking incoherently

when they approached

and seemed to be

in mental distress.

She was arrested, but

court documents state

her case was later dismissed.

When threats emerge in

an airport or on a plane,

sometimes they're too

dangerous for staff

or passengers to handle.

- [Narrator] That's where

Special Ops comes in.

- [Narrator] According to

news sources in Melbourne,

passengers watched in disbelief

as an Australian Special Ops

team removed a passenger

for rushing the c*ck after

he claimed to have a b*mb.

Turns out the b*mb

was a power pack

and portable speakers,

but the officers still

needed to sweep the plane

and make sure there were no

real expl*sives on board.

According to reports,

the man was sentenced

to 12 years in prison

for attempting to take

or exercise control

of an aircraft.

Upon appeal, it was

reduced to eight years.

This was attributed to

mental health issues,

the b*mb being fake,

and a guilty plea.

[plane engine roaring]

This woman at a Bangkok

airport has climbed

onto some structural cables

and is dangling 60

feet in the air.

As travelers look on,

rescuers in safety

harnesses inch closer

to try and coax her to safety.

[spectators chattering]

She nearly falls, making

a miraculous recovery.

[spectators chattering]

Then finally, does

drop, thankfully,

into a giant airbag

that was set out

to catch her fall.

Airport crew scramble

to her rescue.

Reportedly, the woman was

picked up hours earlier

wandering the streets of

Bangkok and was brought

to TORS police at the airport.

She refused to talk to

authorities and was taken

to a hospital for observation.

Love is in the air as a

small private plane hits

the runway in Canada.

Amateur pilot, Anthony

Bordignon is taking

his girlfriend, Katherine,

for a joy ride in the sky.

- [Narrator] While the

couple prepares for takeoff,

the pilot notices something

seems off with the plane.

Their flight

continues to be smooth

until the plane makes

a sudden movement.

- Babe, babe, babe.

[Katherine screams]

- [Narrator] Amateur pilot,

Anthony Bordignon has taken

his girlfriend, Katherine,

out for a short flight.

- [Narrator] But it

seems something's wrong

with the plane.

- [Narrator] And that's

when Katherine realizes

that there is nothing

actually wrong with the plane.

[Katherine screams]

[gentle music]

- [Narrator] Faking a potential

plane crash might not be

the best way to propose.

- [Narrator] But Mr. and

Mrs. Bordignon tied the knot

a few months after

their infamous flight.

They continue to fly,

though now their trips

are a lot less scary.

[plane engine roaring]

It's standard

operating procedure

to remove certain

articles of clothing

before going through

airport security.

What happens here, though,

is anything but standard.

These two British traveling

companions are going

through Manchester airport's

routine screening process.

As they wait in line, a security

officer purportedly tells

them to take off

their coats and belts

and place them in the bins.

But the ladies take

things much further.

As officers react to

the surprise striptease,

a third woman rushes

to cover them up.

[upbeat music]

The women later claimed the

security officer directed them

to take off all their clothing,

a claim that security

officials denied.

The women ended up in court,

where they were found guilty

of public indecency and fined.

From the moment you

enter an airport

to the time you

board your flight,

navigating the whole

process can be confusing,

especially for a

first-time flyer.

In 2019, surveillance from

Dagestan Airport in Russia

shows a reported rookie

flyer approaching

a security checkpoint.

Apparently, he's unsure how

the screening process works,

and he climbs inside

the baggage scanner

with his luggage.

The security agent

sets the man straight

and sends him on his way,

luckily with no harm done

to the confused traveler

or the machine.

[plane engine roaring]

Once check in is done

and bags are stowed,

many passengers

turning their attention

to finding a good movie,

but passengers aboard a

flight from Fort Lauderdale

to Dallas witnessed

a real life drama.

- [Woman] A baby has been

delivered on our flight

from Fort Lauderdale.

- [Narrator] A

passenger traveling

with her two pre-teen

daughters suddenly went

into labor with her third

child about a month early.

- [Narrator] The 35-year-old mom

said she began

having contractions

about 10 to 15

minutes after takeoff.

In a very lucky coincidence,

a pediatrician and a nurse

were also on the flight.

They assisted with the

delivery right there

at her seat as the plane

was diverted to New Orleans.

- [Narrator] One

passenger grabs her phone

and shoots this video,

narrating the 7-pound

baby's first moments.

- [Narrator] Yes, it's a boy,

and Cristophe is probably going

to be spending a lot

of time in airplanes,

because the airline gifted

him with free flights

for the next 21 years.
