Two sisters who had allegedly drunk one too many before their flight were refused boarding in New Jersey - and threw a huge tantrum.
The pair were in Newark airport and wanted to board the Aer Lingus flight to Dublin, but found themself in a confrontation with airline staff and the police as they were refused boarding. One woman, who said she was a lawyer, warned the cops there would be consequences if she was arrested.
The video was recorded by a fellow passenger and shared by a TikToker who said they were behaving “erratically” after being told they wouldn’t be flying at 8pm. In the video, one woman is seen jumping up and down shouting “Can anybody help us? Please somebody help me. Please!”. The woman seems distressed as onlookers watch on with bemusement.
The video shows a blonde woman sobbing while her sister promises they will still go to Ireland, saying: “I’m not going to let you down. We’re going to Dublin!”. The brunette sister then argues with staff about not being let on the flight, before she begins shouting to the crowd of people to help - while the blonde woman appears to accept they won’t be getting on.
