This irate woman screamed until she was JetBlue in the face — but she still wasn’t allowed to board her flight.
Viral video posted Monday on Instagram shows the unnamed passenger hurling insults and threats at an airline employee at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, calling him a “rapist” as she hoists herself onto the counter.
The unhinged traveler was one of many passengers held up for 20 hours when technical issues forced the airline to wait for another plane, according to Yahoo Lifestyle.

And we should always believe the women, right, Democrats?
Well, it ALMOST worked to derail Judge Kavanaugh . . .
I think she called him a racist.
Good grief.
Is “rapist” the new “Nazi”?
Can the airline employee sue for defamation of character? Maybe if that actually happened people would learn to be a bit more cautious in their word choices.
I’m outraged, as a woman, because yes, that reduces a terrible thing to happen to an individual, to an insult. I’d be even more outraged if the person she was calling “rapist” was my husband, son, brother, cousin, nephew, etc.
Yet another reason I don’t fly unless absolutely necessary...
Smh, drunk and disorderly, headline misleading, she’s not even booked on that flight.
This kind of anti social behavior from iPhone/ipad addicted liberal snowflakes should result in lifetime NO-FLY list.
Exactly. Why pay that much to be treated that badly?
The effect of the “me too” movement on hysterics is that they see all men as rapists. The problem is, that the woman is always believed, her irrational hysteria not being taken into account.
May not be the case here, but now that airlines engage in code sharing, lots of flights are cancelled and the ones that fly are overbooked.
An example: United and ANA are code share partners. Suppose they each have a flight leaving for Tokyo on the same day, from the same airport and within a few hours of each other, and they are both only 60% booked on each plane. Well, they just move all the passengers from the ANA flight over to the United flight, or vice-versa, tell the overbooked passengers they will get coupons or upgrades to go on a later flight. This saves a tremendous amount of money in fuel, crew payment, and particularly in gate fees. The coupons and upgrades are tax write offs.
This can cause angst among passengers. Even those who fly get angry. A person may decide they will never fly United again, ever, and pay more money to fly on All Nippon Airways to avoid their hated United and when they get to the gate, they see a United plane waiting for them.
This being said, this woman went full nuts.
If he had put his hands up in front as a “Stop it,Lady!” signal, and accidentally touched her with his pinkie,
she would have gone into a complete frenzy, scratchin’, rippin’ and even bitin’.
Airlines don't have a monopoly.
I've heard Mistress Vickie charges a lot to treat people badly.
Call Security and request a female Security Officer.
Resist the devilish temptation to “throw water on the fire”.
YouTube has dozens, if not hundreds, of videos of people going crazy in terminals and on airplanes, some in mid-flight.
I’m down to flying once a year. I absolutely loathe the process and experience.
The fabric of society is unraveling.
Staying home is fine with me.
I witnessed a crazy woman go ballistic at PDX one morning before boarding a flight to DFW. The blackish woman sporting dreadlocks claimed to be a lawyer! Made all kinds of threats to get on board. Ranting and raving about not having a ticket. She was on standby from a missed earlier flight. I boarded the plane and just before they closed the door they let the nutbag board. Not only crazy, but butt ugly too.
Don’t you just love flying?/S
Granted they do that - but it certainly was not the case here.
The article is poorly written and misleading. It claims early on that she was one of the passengers delayed. That’s not the case.
She was booked on a flight with no delays. She was so drunk that they refused to let her on that flight. Then she went off on a guy working at a different counter.
Reasons number 1,000,001 and 1,000,002 why I will NEVER fly on JetBlue. Horrible service and unhinged passengers. It has to be the worst airline in America.
That would depend on how you define badly. “Stop it some more”
