ORLANDO, Fla. – Video shared online shows a woman appearing to have an angry – and at times, violent – meltdown in the middle of the Southwest Concourse at Orlando International Airport. The video appears to show the woman yelling in the direction of Southwest employees, following one of them, and repeatedly hitting computers at the gate agent kiosks, one of which was pushed to the ground.
Passenger Peyton Turbeville, who was at the airport and recorded the now-viral moment, told Storyful that the woman was upset because she did not make the standby list for three flights. FOX 35 has not been able to independently verify that claim.
A Southwest spokesperson did not provide a statement on the incident and instead deferred FOX 35 to local law enforcement. A spokesperson for MCO also deferred to the Orlando Police Department. FOX 35 has reached out to Orlando Police to see if they responded to the incident.…
