A group of more than 30 teens from Boston refused to wear face masks on a plane to the Bahamas on Monday — forcing American Airlines to cancel the flight.
"It was bad. First, they were yelling. They were cursing. They were being very obnoxious," witness Malik Banks told WSOC-TV.

"It wasn’t all of them," Banks recounted. "I would say 75 percent to 80 percent of them were being terrible kids, saying smart stuff."

"All they had to do was follow the rules, put the mask on, sit there. No smart-mouth comments," another ticked-off passenger Christina Randolph. "And they couldn’t do it."

Adults stranded as a result of the shenanigans received hotel vouchers — but age rules for hotel bookings forced the teens to spend an uncomfortable night at the airport.

"Well, I’m a nurse, and it’s really, really hard to get time off work. So when you finally get time off, you really want to be somewhere you want to be," Randolph told WSOC-TV.

No arrests were made in the incident.
