It was tarmac turbulence!
Tempers were flying on a JetBlue flight when a hotheaded passenger who was allegedly upset that the plane had “too many kids” onboard engaged in a heated argument with a no-nonsense mother and her teen son.
The flight was preparing to depart from JFK Airport on June 23 for Cibao International Airport in the Dominican Republic when passenger Karoll Chanel Morel began recording the battle of the voices.
“We were already delayed multiple times, wasn’t her fault,” Morel told the independent news Instagram page PPV Tahoe. “When we were on the runway about to take off the flight attendant noticed she had two infants & her 13-year-old son with her.”
She claimed that a flight attendant noticed the teen carrying the baby and told the mother that an adult would need to hold the child for the flight and the plane was forced to return to the gate.
The video started when a man in a black Adidas shirt and baseball cap shouted at the mother from a row behind her to “shut the f–k up” before the argument reached a boiling point.
Morel alleges that the frustrated man started “going crazy,” blamed her and her children for the delay, and called her a “stupid ass b—h.”
The passenger’s fearless teenage son, wearing a white shirt and glasses, then stood up from his seat two rows in front of the enraged flyer to also confront him.
WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
The son demanded to know who the man thought he was talking to, “his mom like that.”
“Shut the f–k up too,” the man vigorously shouts at the boy, which triggers his mother to stand in between them.
“Be quiet!” she yells repeatedly while passionately pointing her finger at the rageful man.
The camera then pans to her son, who flight attendants are forced to hold back while another passenger holds the mother’s baby.
“When we got back to the gate the guy holding the baby in the video offered to take the baby for the flight if the mom was ok with it & she said yes, so they went to change the baby under his name,” the passenger told the outlet.
All three begin shouting over each other before the man again tells the mother to “shut the f–k up and sit down.”
Her son then bolted down the aisle and stopped at the man’s row to continue shouting before a flight attendant ushered him away.
The mother and man continue to shout at each other, switching from English to Spanish, as a voice comes over the intercom telling everyone to “take their seat” before the video ends.
It’s unclear if the aircraft ever took off following the altercation and if the passengers involved in the disrupted shouting matching were removed from the plane.
The Post has reached out to JetBlue for comment.
The video, posted on Instagram on Tuesday, has been viewed nearly 200k times, with many commenters showing their support for the mother and son.
“That mom has every reason to flip tf out, that man was out of pocket,” one user wrote.
“What a wank! Like traveling with kids isnt easy, why make her day harder than it already is smh,” another commented.
“A grown man yelling at a woman & a child like that is crazy!” said another.
