The Reddit user who posted the video claimed the man had utilised four of the overhead bins to store his luggage and that he could be seen removing numerous bags as he was being removed.
A passenger onboard an American Airlines flight was kicked out of the plane after a heated argument with a member of the cabin crew over the number of bags kept in the overhead storage bins, as per a report in the Independent. A video of the same was shared on Reddit and since then it has gone viral on social media.
In the clip, the man, who had his hair in a top knot and was wearing a yellow t-shirt, was captured on camera yelling "there's no space" repeatedly after another passenger allegedly kept their luggage above him and then took their seat. The passenger said in the video, "This guy put his luggage up here, now we don't have any space. He's got no space." He continued repeating the same phrase as other passengers boarded the plane.
Referring to a passenger seated across the aisle, who appeared to have just boarded, the man added, "He's got no space. Look." A male member of the cabin crew comes to the agitated passenger to address the issue. He then asks the man to "stop". "Sir, I'm going to ask one more time. You need to stop with this whole luggage situation," the flight attendant said as he pointed his finger in the passenger's face.
