Mile-high meltdown? Try terminal tantrum.
A woman at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport stripped down mid-argument this week in a head-turning moment, joining a growing trend of in-flight and in-airport undressings.
In viral videos filmed by a bystander and shared widely on social media, the topless woman, wearing only white underwear, black shoes and shiny hoop earrings, was seen pacing around Spirit Airlines gate G12.
As seen in the primary clip, posted by @onlyinfloridaa on Instagram, the woman seemed to be arguing with a man who attempted to return the clothes she had taken off.
In another video shared on the same account, a police officer stood beside the man and handed the bare-breasted woman a black T-shirt, which she put on.
Travelers waiting in the gate area seemed to avert their eyes as she shouted and gesticulated wildly, trying to make a point that couldn’t be clearly heard in the videos.
Meanwhile, some people in the background started recording the scene with their phones.
The Post has reached out to Spirit for a comment on the flesh-flashing flier.
Viewers flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts, with a few accusing Spirit Airlines of frequently drawing disruptive passengers.
“You had me at Spirit Airlines,” one wrote as another replied, “This!”
“I notice the Spirit airplane in the back. Always those Spirit people!!” someone else added.
Comments like these aren’t particularly shocking, considering a recent Axios-Harris Poll survey that gauged Americans’ perceptions of 100 prominent companies placed Spirit at 98th.
And although this exposing incident is striking, unruly fliers aren’t entirely uncommon.
Earlier this year, authorities apprehended a man who was filmed strolling unclothed and inebriated through another terminal at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
It’s been legally determined that the First Amendment does not protect undressing at TSA checkpoints, in case you were wondering.
