A witness has come forward to reveal what went down when a passenger frantically demanded to get off a plane after seeing an "imaginary person".
A viral TikTok video - which has now been now-deleted - shows a seemingly distressed woman onboard an American Airlines flight departing from Dallas Fort Worth airport.
The passenger appeared irate and was demanding to be let off the plane, despite the crew closing the doors. She then said something that left her fellow fliers very alarmed.
"I'm telling you, I'm getting the f*** off and there's a reason why I'm getting the f*** off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it," the woman is heard saying as she walks to the front of the plane.
Watch the incident below:At one point in the startling footage, the woman is seen ominously pointing toward the back of the plane and screaming: "You can sit on this plane and you can die with them or not. I’m not going to."
According to The Mirror, the incident caused a three-hour delay for the other passengers, and the airline reportedly had everyone de-board and then re-board hours later so that officials could deal with the upset customer.
While many people on the internet have questions regarding the situation, a comedian named Carrot Top took to their Instagram page to detail their first-person account of the clip.
He filmed his response from Orlando, Florida, after the flight was stalled in Dallas, Texas.
The witness - whose real name is Scott Thompson - started off by expressing gratitude to the plane staff, saying: "I give my hat off to everyone at American Airlines today for how they handled the situation with that f***ing nut job who just lost her mind in front of the whole plane."
The comic addressed the woman at the center of the controversy: "I hope you're having a relaxing evening behind bars in Dallas, Texas. Hope you enjoyed your little stunt. It reminds me of the Eddie Murphy movie where he walks in and says 'Where is the man who wrecked the buffet?!'"
Carrot Top then concluded his video message by admitting he'd missed most of the Fourth of July festivities, adding: "I missed the fireworks and everything!"
In the caption for his video, the prop comic wrote: "Well.. finally home in bed .. hats off to @americanair. how they handled this situation tonight. It’s really is maddening how 1 nut job can ruin everyone’s plan. Well made it home safe! I guess that’s all that matters. Nite."
While the reason for the passenger's behavior has not been revealed, Carrot Top branded it as a "stunt".
