PSA: Don’t Assault The Gate Agent When Your Flight Is Delayed

Nowadays everyone is a videographer thanks to smartphones, which means we get some pretty crazy airport footage at times.

Like this woman, who went crazy after missing her flight in Hong Kong (I actually feel bad for her):

Or this guy, who started destroying stuff in the airport after he missed his flight, entirely due to reasons within his control (I don’t feel especially bad for him):

Here’s the latest crazy video, which took place after a Capital Airlines flight out of Changsha, China was delayed due to weather. Per airlive.net, here’s the description of the incident:

Capital Airlines flight attendant violently beaten at Changsha international airport (China) by a passenger after learning that his plane had been canceled due to weather conditions.

Now, I suspect by “flight attendant” they actually mean “gate agent.” Regardless, the actions of two of these passengers are unbelievable:

Seriously, this is how you react to news of your flight being delayed due to weather?!?

China-Assault

No wonder Chinese airlines are coming together to blacklist passengers…

Can anyone translate what they’re saying?

I think every decent person from every country is embarrassed when their countrymen/women pull stunts like this. The race baiters need to just knock it off. It gets so old. Nobody is saying that Chinese in general are horrible people. Are there some horrible Chinese people? Yes. Same is true of every country.

To those who are calling the other posters racists: I think the posters identified themselves as ethnically Chinese or of Chinese descent to show that their observations are not necessarily racially motivated, but an embarrassment over the rude behaviors. One of the problems with being a minority, for me, is that when these embarrassing things happen, I wonder if everyone would think _I_ would behave like that so I, unconsciously, compensate by being even more horrified at what happened and by being extra conscientious with the flight attendants or with the gate agents - to prove to the world that we are not all this rude or ignorant. The same reason why I try to tip generously because I keep hearing from people, whoever they may be, that Asians don't tip well. All that to say, I live with this weird need to prove that we are not all these crazy folks on youtube. Whether that need is crazy or not, I feel the need. Thus, when these crazy things do happen, I get angrier. I'm not being racist, I'm just feeling the weird burden. I do not speak for all the other guys that posted before me, but I can empathize with them. That's all.

So surprised that there are so many racists here, for sure, there are some rude people in there and act uncivilized, but please tell me somewhere there are no crimes and all the people there are totally civilized. I just read a news about residents in London loot free bottles of water which were originally prepared for the people taking marathon. When I was living in five star hotels, there are some American talking really loud and trying to take food out of the lounge, which was stopped by the looks lounge staff. So there are sure some bad people we should condemn, but I don't understand why whenever there is any Chinese behaves badly, the media always tries to make a big deal out of it. Anyway, China is still under development, and it is just been prosperous in recent years, people there still need time to digest the big changes and I hope the people and the country are getting better and better.
