Between the recent spike in airline delays and cancelations, long wait times at the airport, and the pressure of rushing to make your flight in time – traveling can certainly be a stressful activity.
And while it’s only natural to get frustrated when things don’t go as planned, some people have taken their anger a little too far – erupting into fierce fits of rage and having explosive meltdowns at the airport or on a plane.
Over the last year, there’s been quite a few freak outs which involved passengers threatening airline employees, cursing out staff, screaming at the top of their lungs and sometimes, even getting physical.
Recently, a woman was arrested at a Miami airport after police said she jumped behind the check-in desk, grabbed the computer and threw it at a staff member – all of which, was captured on video and shared to social media.

Police said Camilia became ‘irate’ and ‘began to scream’ when she realized that her kids were gone, with a witness also telling WSVN that she went into ‘panic mode.’
Camilia started to frantically search for her children – who it turns out, had gone to the bathroom – and demanded that a gate agent help her find them.

Stunned onlookers videotaped the dramatic incident – and footage of the encounter quickly went viral on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

Back in November, a couple who reportedly tried to avoid paying an extra fee for their baggage ran onto a plane without scanning their boarding passes – and when flight staff asked them to get off the aircraft, they erupted into a screaming fit of rage.
According to a fellow passenger, named Nikki, the duo – who have not been identified – allegedly realized they were going to be charged extra by Frontier Airlines because their carry-on luggage was slightly oversized on a recent flight from Denver to Dallas.
So Nikki told the New York Post that they ‘bolted through and skipped bag measures and boarding pass scanning.’
The pair was then asked to leave the plane by flight workers, but when they ‘refused,’ the staff said everyone was going to have to deplane.
Soon, an argument broke out between the two people who had allegedly snuck onto the plane and the other passengers, which ultimately ended with police being called.

‘I’m not getting off this flight,’ the other added. ‘I’ve been up since 5:45 this morning. I’m tired. We’re not going no where.’
Nikki told the Post that they were eventually escorted off by police.
