A furious passenger threw an expletive-ridden tantrum in response to a baby crying on a plane. TikTokers are divided on whether he was justified.

• A furious passenger channeled his rage at a crying baby, as flight attendants tried to calm him down.
• "We are in a fucking tin can with a baby," he screamed. "Did that motherfucker pay extra to yell?"

A man on a plane who was so incensed by a shrieking baby that he erupted into a temper tantrum of his own has ignited a strong and somewhat polarized reaction on TikTok.

The incident was captured on Tuesday by fellow passenger Marc Grabowski, who noted that the incident occurred when the Southwest flight — originally destined for Fort Lauderdale but ultimately re-routed to Orlando — was in a holding pattern amid weather concerns.

"That child has been crying for forty minutes," the passenger can be heard yelling in Grabowski's video as flight attendants try to calm him down. "We are in a fucking tin can with a baby in a goddman echo chamber, and you wanna talk to me about being OK?"

When a flight attendant tells the man that he is yelling, he shouts back, "So is the baby! Did that motherfucker pay extra to yell?"

Grabowski told Fox 35 News Orlando that the flight had become bumpy amid the holding pattern and that passengers were instructed to stay in their seats for roughly an hour, which prompted the baby's outcry. He told the outlet that flight attendants moved the baby and its mother to another section of the plane, and contacted authorities.

Grabowski said the man was given the option to deplane first or to be forcibly removed after everyone else had disembarked. He reportedly chose the latter, but no arrests were made, according to the outlet.

Southwest has called the captured freak-out "unacceptable."

"We commend our crew for exhibiting outstanding professionalism while handling a challenging situation, and we appreciate the patience of our other customers onboard who had to experience the unacceptable behavior," a spokesperson told Insider in a statement.

Southwest could not share any further details surrounding the incident, including the identity of the man.

Commenters on TikTok, however, were shocked and amused by the man's reaction, with some even suggesting it was justified.

"I'm a parent and I understand his frustration. The overstimulation of having to listen to a child scream and cry would be too much," one wrote. Another added, "Difficult situation all around but that guy is so hilarious. Like every line was a masterpiece."

Others felt the conniption was overblown, expressing sympathy for the baby's parents.

"Get his frustration butttt ummm it's a child. Hell he made it worse," one commenter wrote. Another added, "How do you think the baby's parents feel? People need to get a grip, babies are a part of life. We were all babies once."
