In the viral video on social media, the frustrated passenger shouts complainingly "“I paid for a ticket to have a f***ing comfortable flight. That child has been crying for 40 minutes!”
The flight crew rush to the man and try to calm him down, requesting him to stop yelling. It makes him even agrier and he goes: "I’m not screaming. Do you want me to scream? I’ll f***ing scream. We are in a f***ing tin can with a baby in a goddamn echo chamber and you wanna talk to me about being f***ing OK?”
