A video has gone viral online showing a passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight in the US start screaming and climbing over seats claiming she has been kidnapped. And a fellow passenger says the troubled passenger was “possessed”.
The three-minute video starts with a woman with short brown hair screaming in agony as staffers and other passengers try to get her under control. However, in an expletive-laden outburst, she yells, “Stop pulling my arm.”
A man on the plane is then seen exchanging words with a cabin crew member before the distressed woman starts climbing over rows of seats. “Stop blocking me,” she screams into the face of another crew member. Amid the chaos, a flight worker urges passengers to take their seats.
The clip shows a woman in a grey beanie claiming the distressed woman is a “real devil that wants to kill each and every one of y’all including your family members”. “That’s not her, she’s possessed!” the woman in the beanie says. “She needs help!” She preaches about the importance of Jesus Christ. “If y’all don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ, I suggest you find one,” she says.
She calmly proceeds to sing a hymn as staff struggle to get the woman with brown hair under control. The flight was reportedly leaving Houston for Denver but had to be diverted to Dallas.
“Folks, are we starting to realize that the extra $40 to fly Delta is maybe worth it…?” an X user commented. “People need to stop taking drugs and drinking before flights,” said another. “I mean, I hope she wasn’t kidnapped — and if she wasn’t, I hope she seeks help,” wrote a third.
The incident has brought back memories of an incident on an American Airlines flight in which a woman exclaimed “that mother****** is not real!” Tiffany Gomas, a 38-year-old Texas marketing guru, discussed the bizarre July outburst on a podcast and said she had got into an altercation with a fellow passenger and that it spiralled out of control, according to New York Post.
