New Delhi: A TikTok video of an angry man yelling at flight attendants over a crying baby has recently gone viral triggering a debate on social media over travelling with children on flights. In the video, an elderly man is seen shouting at the baby's parents and the flight attendants who tried to pacify him.
The video was first shared on TikTok under the title "Belligerent passenger causes diversion" and then went viral on social media. A fellow passenger recorded the incident when the man was involved in a heated exchange with two flight attendants. A flight attendant is heard saying "You are yelling" and the angry passenger replies, "So is the baby".

The crying baby (which sounds more like a toddler than a baby-baby) magically stops crying halfway through this man’s rant which leads me to believe the people they were traveling with could’ve done more to meet whatever need they were expressing.

The video has raised an uproar on social media with several users criticising the man for his rude behaviour while a few extending their sympathy for his situation. A user commented, “If you can’t handle the sound of a crying baby or toddler, maybe air travel or being in public isn’t for you. Personally, I’d be embarrassed by my inability to cope with something so basic that happens all the time. But I just believe that’s part of being a functioning adult.”

"How do you manage a baby that has pain because of air compression or decompression? If you are so fragile by a baby crying instead of having sympathy for the parents and baby, stay out of public places maybe," pointed out another user.
