Share this @internewscast.com

In an unsettling incident at Newark Liberty International Airport, two young passengers were reportedly removed from a flight following alleged threats made on board. The situation, captured in a series of video clips, sparked a heated reaction from a fellow traveler.

The footage, which made its way to TikTok on December 21, shows a tense scene with several law enforcement officers present. They can be seen questioning a female passenger who purportedly issued a threat prior to the aircraft’s takeoff. The specifics of the alleged threat remain undisclosed.

Amidst the commotion, another traveler, who filmed the aftermath, erupted in anger. His profanity-laden outburst was directed at a man who appeared to find humor in the situation.

A man, who the caption described as her brother, could be seen laughing as the interrogation ensued.

“What the f*** are you laughing about?” the frustrated passenger exclaimed. “You think this is f***ing funny? You piece of s***.”

As the man continued to walk away with a smile, the individual behind the camera added sarcastically, “Yeah, yeah, f***ing really funny.”

As the man walked away chuckling, the person capturing the event added: ‘Yeah, yeah, f***ing really funny.’

Full video of the incident showed law enforcement asking the woman ‘exactly why you posted this.’

She was grilled as to what she was supposedly ‘joking’ about, as the disgruntled man filming moved his phone around to capture the conversation.

‘Do you know the seriousness of that?’ an officer asked her.

Then, he turned to the passenger’s mom, who was standing next to her daughter while the questioning took place.

‘Mom, do you know the seriousness of that?’ he said.

‘Yeah, I know,’ the mother appeared to respond.

The officer then informed the family that ‘this was actually picked up by multiple federal agencies.’

He said: ‘So we’re gonna move you guys off to the side somewhere. We’re gonna have to interview you guys, okay?’

According to the person who uploaded the footage, the woman had allegedly posted a threat on TikTok prior to the plane’s departure.

Other passengers on the flight shared their experience with the concerning situation, which they said had interrupted their travel plans.

‘I was on this flight and I am STILL in an airport trying to get to my destination because we were so delayed,’ one user wrote.

She added: ‘I’m really glad it didn’t end up being a serious threat but I’m so angry that she derailed so many peoples plans for a video.’

Another user claimed that the woman had posted a video on TikTok, which the company ‘flagged it and sent it immediately to the FBI & they got her off the plane.’

‘Honestly I’m glad they were able to move so quickly,’ she said. ‘Lesson to everyone they are watching everything we do on our phones.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates Newark Airport, FBI Newark and TikTok for comment.

Newark has been massively impacted by delays this week, as thousands of travelers look to reunite with their families and spend time with their loved ones.

Port Authority estimated that roughly 5.7 million passengers will travel through Newark, John F Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Stewart International Airport over the holiday season, per ABC 7.

The New Jersey airport handles roughly 1,200 flights per day from about 50 carriers. On Wednesday, a ground stoppage was issued due to staffing issues. 

More flight disruptions could occur over the next few days as a fast-moving winter storm hits the East Coast.
