One The Wildest Airplane Meltdowns Of All Time Just Took Place On Southwest Airlines

You simply cannot behave badly on a plane these days and expect it to not end up as a viral video, and so calling a complete stranger a “fat-@ss b****” and then pulling her hair before proceeding to tell the “ugly @ass dude” next to hear that he’s never getting laid again was always going to end up doing the rounds online.

Here’s the incident this week on board a Southwestern Airlines flight NYC’s LaGuardia to Kansas City:

Complete and utter chaos. Again, you might get away with that sort of behaviour in certain public settings, but never on a plane. There is not a single person on that aircraft in that moment who’s got anything better to do than to whip out their phone and film every moment of the chaos.

Unsurprisingly, it turns out the passenger was “intoxicated”, with TMZ revealing that 32-year-old NY resident Leanna Perry has been arrested for aggravated assault.

Here she is being stretchered off the plane and out of the airport by police, looking subdued:

Actually sad to see. Who knows, though – if there’s one thing these airplane meltdown videos have taught us it’s that it’s absolutely possible to turn an embarrassing viral video into 15 minutes of fame or maybe even a full-on internet career. Who could forget Tiffany ‘that motherf***er is not real‘ Gomas?

Well said, Tiffany. Here’s hoping Leanna Perry gets the help she needs, realises the error of her ways, apologises to the people she verbally and physically assaulted on this flight, and manages to turn it all around. We’re rooting for her!
