He definitely made it into the mile cry club.
An American tourist has been deported from Colombia after kicking and punching an airplane because he missed his flight. The wild video was initially shared to the X account @RedMasNoticias, but was reposted to Instagram, where it’s currently going viral.
“This man had an aggressive demeanor that put each the staff and other travelers in danger,” said Daniel Gallo of the Colombian Air Transport Employees’ Union, Jam Press reported.
The ruckus kicked off after the unnamed US citizen had reportedly showed up late to a LATAM airline flight that was slated to fly from Bogotá to Cartagena on August 23, local media reported.
The traveler had reportedly arrived on the gate after closing, whereupon crew members denied him entry. Nevertheless, as a substitute of complying, the bozo bypassed the cordon and attempted to board the plane.
“When he couldn’t get on the plane, he selected to breach flight security,” Gallo recalled.
Upon finding that the aircraft door was closed, the irate flyer threw a tantrum for the ages.
Within the accompanying three-minute Instagram video, filmed by a passenger aboard the plane, the manchild is seen kicking the plane door in desperation.
At one point, the desperate fellow drops to his knees and bangs on the window as he begs staffers to let him in.
He even tries fidgeting with the joystick on the boarding bridge in a last-ditch try and get on the aircraft.
Salvation got here after police and security personnel apprehended the hellion and took him to the airport migration office, where he reportedly assaulted an official.
The person was deported from the country inside hours.
Instagram viewers were shocked and appalled by the traveler’s meltdown.
“Even when it’s possible to open the door for him to board, does he think that cabin crew or captain will allow such a crazy person to be onboard,” said one commenter.
One other wrote, “Easiest strategy to get on the no-fly list.”
A former airline worker also weighed in on the person’s antics.
“Coming from a former airline agent, it’s the agent’s responsibility on the check encounter to not let anyone through if the flight is already boarding,” they wrote. “There’s a cut-off time for you to ascertain in counter once they let that passenger through especially on the gates now all of them should be accounted for smh.”
