DOD, United Airlines say masked passengers 'extremely unlikely' to catch COVID-19

U.S. Department of Defense and United Airlines conduct study and find the risk of exposure to coronavirus on commercial airlines is 'virtually nonexistent'; Fox News correspondent Bryan Llenas reports.

You can hang out in an airport, but you can’t stay on a plane.

A woman has gone viral for inexplicably screaming when asked to deplane a Southwest Airlines flight after landing.

Though most travelers are eager to keep it moving, one woman caused a commotion when she hollered and refused to move from her seat when it was time to exit the aircraft. On Saturday, a quick clip of the bizarre scene hit the internet, with footage of the following feud viewed over four million times on Twitter. TravelPulse reports that the incident occurred on a Southwest flight.

"I'm trying to be nice," a passenger, standing the aisle, began at the start of the video.

"M'am, I'm right here. Are you going to get off the aircraft, or are you going to sit there and scream?" a flight attendant asked the seated woman, who was filmed from her right side. "I'm just asking, cause it's gonna be your turn, so you need to go."

The passenger glanced at the two standing women before looking forward again, appearing to ignore them.

"I’ve gotta pee, I’ve gotta get off of here!" the passenger exclaimed. "M'am, I'm trying to," she said, moving forward up the aisle, before the woman released a bloodcurdling scream. The seated passenger threw out her left arm, trying to stop the other traveler. The passenger in the aisle quickly pushed forward, escaping her reach and moving forward.

From there, the seated passenger even tried to pull the woman’s coat, as the concerned flight attendant jumped in to intervene.

"M'am! M'am!" the Southwest staffer said, as the woman continued shrieking. "I'm watching you, attack her!"

"You get out of here," the woman hurled.

"Excuse me, I work here m'am!" the flight attendant fired back. "Get off the aircraft, please." Finally, the passenger got up, and the video cut out.

When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Southwest shared the following statement on the story:

"We expect our customers to exercise good judgement and common courtesy, and to follow crew member instructions at all times," the spokesperson told Fox News on Thursday. "Our crews are responsible for enforcing our policies and fostering an environment for well-being and comfort of everyone onboard, and our top priority is the safety and health of our people and our customers."

Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a "zero tolerance" policy against disruptive behavior on commercial flights following a string of incidents around the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6.

For the time being, the FAA will not issue warning letters or negotiate penalties. Instead, the agency will act directly to issue fines of up to $35,000 and possible jail time for those who misbehave.
