The pilot of a Southwest Airlines flight from Houston, Texas, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, threatened to deplane after a passenger airdropped a naked picture to other passengers.
In a video posted on TikTok, the pilot can be heard threatening to call security and force passengers to leave the aircraft.
So here’s the deal, if this continues while we’re on the ground I’m going to have to pull back to the gate, everybody’s going to have to get off, we’re going to have to get security involved and … vacation is going to be ruined.
