She was literally sounding off.
An American Airlines passenger unleashed an expletive-ridden tirade as she was allegedly kicked off a flight for playing a cell phone video on her loudspeaker.
In the video, the woman swore at cabin crew before being led off the plane with cops — even though she claimed she stopped playing the clip after the “second warning.”
“I played a video for 30 f—king seconds at 50% sound, and that’s the f—king reason you’re kicking me off?” the passenger, described as “drunk” by another traveler, said.
The enraged traveler, who was reportedly belligerent before the Tampa-bound plane even left the gate at Miami airport, continued to hurl expletives at flight attendants before daring them to call the cops.
“What the actual f–k?” the passenger said as she carried on her tirade, shared on TikTok on Feb. 26.
She went on to claim that she “stopped after the second warning.”
The disgruntled traveler repeated her claim she only played a video for 30 seconds and two officers tried to reason with her.
“Listen. Is this not a free speech America or are we being a–holes to literally everybody?” she asked one cop.
She then claimed she was “keeping the peace” before asking the officers: “Can I not express my feelings?”
The other cop then chimed in to say: “You can express your feelings over there,” pointing to the front of the plane.
The traveler sarcastically thanked others for recording her – before she was eventually led toward the exit.
She wagged her finger while the other passengers thanked the officers and burst into applause.
A drunk lady on an American Airlines flight from Miami to Tampa refused to use headphones and was loudly playing videos from her phone. The flight attendants politely asked her to use headphones before we even left the gate, and the lady immediately got angry, rude and belligerent. She was shouting and cursing at employees and other passengers. It continued until law enforcement finally came and thankfully removed her. The American Airlines employees handled it very well and were respectful the entire time. Just a wild situation. Never in my life did I think I’d witness this. #airplane #drunk #americanairlines #miami #florida
The woman causing the commotion was also seen sarcastically applauding as she trooped down the aisle.
The Post has approached American for comment.
Meanwhile, United bosses have updated the company’s contract of carriage, mandating all passengers to wear headphones while using their cell phone to listen to music or watch videos, as reported by CBS News.
Flyers who refuse to comply not only risk being removed off planes – but could see themselves permanently banned from using United services.
