As he went on to smash the computers, he was screaming sending the bystanders in a moment of shock though they did not forget to capture the moment. Other passengers minded their own business and did not come in the way of the irate passenger. Authorities said he caused damage of $20,000. He was eventually detained by the airport security and handed over to the cops.
While the flier who could not fly had his reasons to throw a fit, social media users asked whether he just happened to have walked into the airport with a hammer in his suitcase. Others wondered what the security personnel were doing and how the man was allowed to go on this rampage.
Before his fit of rage, there was a short argument with a staff of the American Airlines who explained to him that he was scammed and the ticket that he was carrying was not a bonafide one.
‘During the course of the afternoon, a Haitian national who had problems boarding a flight he had purchased realized that this flight had never been reserved,’ Western Santiago Prefecture Patrol Lieutenant Manuel Narváez said, according to El Dínamo.
“Local law enforcement responded to the airport lobby area at Santiago de Chile due to a disruptive individual,” American Airlines said in a statement. “We thank our team for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”
