A Southwest Airlines passenger on board a flight to Orlando, Florida, was recorded screaming and swearing at the parents of a child that wouldn't stop crying.
The epic tantrum - thrown by the grown man, not the toddler - left other passengers in hysterics as he screamed about the baby's consistent crying for 45 minutes.
The ordeal unfolded when their flight was forced into a holding pattern around the area outside Palm Beach due to a bad weather front.
Clearly frustrated by the wailing infant, the man started his raucous rant about how he paid a ticket to have a comfortable flight, but those plans were derailed by the baby's screams.
It's unclear when the video was taken, but it was uploaded to TikTok just one day ago - and has already amassed 167,000 views.
The furious passenger was later seen inside the airport being escorted away by police, after refusing to disembark the aircraft following his row.

Been there. Wife and I walked onto a plane and heard a baby crying. I said “guess where our seats are” I’m a prophet.
it’s a hazard of flying, grow up, suck it up and deal dude.
“I’m Jeffrey, I’m four years old!”

I get it too. It sucks. But going on a racial tirade (in the video, he insinuates at one point that the attendants would do more if this was a black baby crying) at the top of your lungs only makes things worse for you and for everyone else.
Noise cancellation headphones are your friends.
I saw that yesterday. The guy was out of line, but still I can totally sympathize with how listening to a crying baby for 45 minutes, when the parents aren’t doing anything to soothe them, could make one lose their composure. Crying babies are designed to be insufferable, so that you pay attention to them. The parents might be numb to it after a while, but the rest of us are not.
Bring earplugs on your next flight.
Meltdowns are instructive to watch.
It lets one know how how they would look if they acted like how they feel. I’ve been sooooo close at times ;-)
The crew should have supplied multiple doses of Benadryl.
No one likes to hear a baby crying and certainly not for that long, but babies can’t say why they’re crying. When he used “triggered”, I couldn’t help but think he’s a leftist, maybe an activist of some sort. He seems a little old for being part of the snowflake generation, but, who knows, maybe he’s copying them in an attempt to stay juvenile.
using that racisms crutch is just natural.
The guy has never taken a toddler on a flight. If he had he’d know the very young have issues with pressure equalization in their underdeveloped ears.
Anyone who has flown with head congestion can appreciate.
What an entitled scumbag.
Whadda jerk.
Bring noise-canceling headphones and listen to some tunes. Flying tends to bother babies’ ears. It’s a *baby.* Grow up and deal with it.
He’s not wrong. When I’m near a crying baby, I start to question my pro-life stance.
Simple fix, airline can pass out Bose noise cancelling headphones and a movie/music.
For this and a host of other reasons I just quit flying anywhere in 2006. Ever had a third-world type changing her baby’s diaper while sitting in the seat next to you? Happened to me on a flight back from Germany in 2002. All the stews would do was give me some extra hand sanitizer packets.
And sometimes baby cry because flying is uncomfortable and causes them ear pain.
The young parents may not even realize what was wrong and was exhausted. Who knows. Why assume they weren’t even trying?
I wonder if some babies have trouble with ear pressure.
