Passengers Recall 'Flight From Hell' After 3-Year-Old Screamed for 8 Hours Straight

It was a transatlantic headache for passengers aboard a flight from Germany to the U.S. when a child would not stop screaming for eight hours.

The passengers described it as the flight from hell which featured nonstop screaming and fussing from a 3-year-old on board.

The mother of the child was overheard telling flight attendants that her son has “behavioral problems,” according to passengers.

Passenger Shane Townley captured parts of the August flight on video, which has recently come to light.

"She kind of looked like she was used to it," he told Inside Edition of the boy’s mother’s disposition. "He was climbing the chairs. He would not let up. He was running up and down the aisles and there was nothing she could do."

Before the plane even took off from Germany, the child's mother could be heard asking a flight attendant to turn on the wi-fi so the child could be appeased with an iPad.

She was also heard pleading with the child saying, “Calm down, honey.”

“Everyone was kind of looking at each other like, ‘This is going to be a long flight,'" Townley added.

When the flight finally touched down at Newark Liberty International Airport, passengers were relieved.

Yet same wife will wear her husband out trying to control him

But not her children

[wardaddy]

Taping someone’s mouth shut can kill them

Life ain’t movies

I saw it with my own eyes

Big lawsuit

[wardaddy]

It’s impossible to comment just on all that

Does your child fear you.?

I have five from 11-29

Several needing whipping

One needed severe whipping or it woulda been Lord of the Flies at my house

We survived

I feared my dads wrath.....

I have seen kids I felt needed tranquilizers which is what Ritalin does.....it slows them down since they run naturally at such high rpm

And I’ve seen Autistic and Aspergers that only meds could control despite firm parental hand

I know it’s hard....my empathy

Congratulations, you have shown you ignorance by abusing the most abused verse in the Bible.

Congratulations, you have shown you ignorance by abusing the most abused verse in the Bible.

First, you misspelled "you", should have been "your", but hey WTH do I know, I'm ignant.

Second, a taste of humility would do you some good. Until you walk in another mans shoes you shall never know the heartaches he or she has faced or will continue to face. The most positive aspect of this dialog is that your opinion means nothing to me, and through God's eyes I shall still respect you as a child of God, as we all are and should.

My child fears my wrath but knows that I’m a kind and loving man. Again, he doesn’t respond to corporal punishment. It makes him even harder to handle. Controlling his access to the internet and gaming is the only thing that seems to be working on his behavior at this time. His attitude is still terrible, but at least we can give him a good reason to try and control himself. I think a case of extreme narcissism might have a lot to do with it. He’s only ever concerned how things affect him, everyone else be damned.
Thanks for your empathy. My original point was that people shouldn’t be so quick to judge the parents. This is an all consuming situation for my wife and I, not to mention our young daughter whom we are trying to protect emotionally.
