Passenger Removed After Profane Tirade on Flight

An unidentified American Airlines passenger caused a 12-minute, profanity-laced tirade on a Charlotte-to-Denver flight, with his outburst captured in viral videos on social media. The man berated flight attendants and passengers, demanded a phone charger and alcohol, and threatened to 'light a blunt' onboard, while also claiming to collaborate with rapper Kodak Black and earn $1 million a year. He alternately insulted and flirted with a flight attendant and at one point threatened to bring '100 people' to surround the plane. The passenger refused to calm down or deplane voluntarily, prompting his removal by staff before takeoff. The flight continued as scheduled, with shaken but relieved passengers and crew. American Airlines apologized for the incident, which has reignited discussions about in-flight safety and unruly passenger conduct.
