Video shows spitting passenger dragged off Southwest flight
An allegedly drunken female passenger aboard a Southwest Airlines flight spit on fellow travelers while being dragged off the plane after sparking an emergency landing, a now-viral cellphone video shows.
The TikTok footage — posted Sunday and already viewed more than 6.4 million times — opens with a woman dressed in a blue t-shirt laying down in the middle of the aisle while another woman dressed in red is standing over her berating her.
“You cannot spit at people! You cannot spit at people!” the woman in red loudly admonishes the lady on the floor, according to the 13-second snippet shared by a TikToker who goes by “itshaleynothailey.”
The passenger in blue utters something incoherent in response before forcefully hawking saliva at her critic.
She then turns her attention to a man seated nearby and tries to spit at him as well, but he strategically blocks the spittle with his elbow.
A flight attendant then pushing the serial spitter from behind as she covers the woman’s mouth with a piece of paper.
The unruly traveler is then shoved forward along the main aisle, vanishing from view.
The TikTok user who shared the video wrote in a caption: “Flight with mental and intoxicated person. Had to emergency land to stay safe! How crazy!!! #southwestairlines.”
The short clip has drawn thousands of comments expressing bewilderment and dismay at the woman’s behavior.
“What did I just watch,” one user wondered, while another commented: “My brain cannot comprehend that.”
It was not immediately known where or when the in-flight disturbance took place or what might have prompted it.
Southwest Airlines did not immediately respond to a Post request for comment Tuesday.
The spitting incident comes just days after another rowdy and allegedly drunken passenger had to be dragged off a Southwest flight from New Orleans after kicking the seat in front of her and then refusing to leave willingly, as seen in viral TikTok video.
Kamaryn Gibson, 25, of Kansas was arrested on Memorial Day at Louis Armstrong International Airport in Kenner, La., after allegedly biting and kicking a sheriff’s deputy.
