Footage captured the wild moment when a passenger smacked a pilot after learning that the plane was delayed for 13 hours. A clip of the wild incident has amassed over 3.1 million views on X as commenters shamed the man for his behavior.
The smackdown occurred on Sunday after an IndiGo flight traveling from Delhi to Goa, in India was delayed for 13 hours due to poor visibility caused by dense fog sweeping the region, according to Jam Press.
Pilot Anup Kumar announced the situation, which apparently did not sit well with one of the passengers, identified as Sahil Kataria, India Today reported.
Footage shows the incensed flyer — who’s wearing a yellow hoodie — charging up the aisle and smacking the pilot with his open hand as onlookers cry out in shock.
“If you want to fly, then fly the plane,” he yells at Kumar, who is seen backing into the cockpit. “Otherwise open the door.”
