“This charger was found on the ground of an empty flight where we were told to remove all possessions because we didn't know if we were getting back on the same flight due to technical issues,” the woman said.
In the video, she explained her side of the story and said she “could have acted more gracefully,” adding, "But I was really stressed out, exhausted, worried about my cat, out of breath... eight hours at the airport only to be recorded and yelled at.”

The incident on the flight
The incident took place on a JetBlue flight. It first came to light when the man whose gadget was taken decided to share a video of his confrontation with the woman on TikTok. Reportedly, the flight crew offered to call the authorities, but the man declined, saying that he didn’t want to delay an already-delayed flight.
The woman took the charger when the pilot allowed the passengers to deplane and get some food after the flight was delayed three times.
