'Karma is a b****': Angry passenger thrown off plane for complaining about sitting next to baby
A disgruntled airplane passenger was kicked off her flight after complaining about being seated next to a woman and her baby, then threatening the job of the flight attendant who stood up for the young mum.
Mobile phone footage shows Marissa Rundell, 19, onboard a New York domestic Delta aircraft with her eight-month-old Mason, when another passenger began complaining.
Ms Rundell said the annoyed woman was the last to board the plane on February 6, and slammed down her bags saying “This is f***ing ridiculous. It's bulls**t having to sit in the back of the plane.”
The young mother told the Daily Mail she requested that the woman watch her language around her son, but claimed the woman told her to “shut the f*** up and shove it”.
The confrontation caught the attention of the flight attendant, identified in the video as Tabitha, who approached the other woman to ask what the problem was.
The woman got up from her seat and demanded to be moved from the crying baby, but Ms Rundell claimed Mason had not been making a fuss at all.
“The flight attendant asked her to sit down, angering her even more,” Ms Rundell told.

As the woman continued complaining, the flight attendant offered to move her to the following flight.
“I can’t” the woman can be heard in the video telling the employee, then demands the flight attendant state her name.
She offers her name and her employee number, which only angers the woman further.
"Thank you Tabitha, you may not have a job tomorrow," she threatens.
Tabitha then demands the woman to be removed from the aircraft, before the passenger apologises and attempts to persuade Tabitha to let her remain onboard.
“I’m sorry, I was really stressed out,” she claims, before the video ends.
Ms Rundell said the woman was “swearing up a storm, saying they will all regret kicking her off the plane," as she left the aircraft.
She praised Tabitha and the Delta staff for sticking up for her and her son and returning to apologise for the rude passenger, and felt compelled to share the video on Facebook last week.
“This lady thought she was going to be rude to me and Mason now she has no way home today,” she wrote.
“Thank you to the lovely Delta flight attendant for not letting this women bully us. Karma is a b****.”
