Original subtitles

(intense music)

- On board tonight's, fasten your seatbelt.

- [robert] a man and his machete

Bring chaos to new orleans.

It's hollywood violence in real life

When a well known actor starts the action in ohio.

And, plane spotters get blown away on the beach.

Modern air travel, now more than ever before

People are acting up and acting out while traveling.

- If there's no flight, just say there's no flight!

- [robert] it's a melting pot of stress and anxiety.

- I want the manager of the airport here!

- [robert] whether it's strangeness in the air

Or strangers on the ground,

This jet stream of raw emotion is all caught on camera.

- Enough, you don't put your on my flight attendant!

- I'm robert hayes, I played the reluctant pilot

Of doomed flight in the classic film airplane.

But in real life, air travel is just as hair-raising.

(screams)

So buckle up.

We're about to take off.

Our nation's airports are among

The most secure places in the world,

But as our next story shows

Anything can happen before you get past

The security checkpoints.

Tsa surveillance video shows this man

Calmly approaching a security line

At louis armstrong, new orleans international airport.

We can see he's concealing one hand inside a brown bag.

He pulls out a can of wasp spray fires.

(intense music)

Then he suddenly goes after the people around him

With a machete, yes, a machete.

Then chases a tsa officer.

When we slow it down for another look,

We see him approach the line, spray can in hand.

At first it's pointed in the wrong direction.

He quickly adjusts.

Next, he reaches for the lethal blade.

A wild swing misses one bystander by inches.

Switching back to the wasp spray,

He goes after the tsa agent.

He hits the tsa officer directly in the face

With the toxic wasp spray.

But the officer miraculously

Counters by throwing a bin at the assailant

Knocking his bag of weapons to the floor.

As he chases agents through the terminal

An armed sheriff's lieutenant intervenes.

She fires three shots.

(gun shots)

Halting the attack.

In the chaos, one tsa officer is shot in the arm.

Reports say the assailant was a 63 year old man

From kenner, louisiana,

Who'd been suffering from depression

And other mental concerns.

No solid motive for the attack has been revealed.

In the bag he was carrying

Authorities later found molotov cocktails,

A grill lighter, and a plastic letter opener.

Several travelers retreated at the airport for injuries.

None were life-threatening.

The assailant died in the hospital

The following day from damage caused by his bullet wounds.

(jet engine whirrs)

- [robert] everybody knows that civilians on the airport tarmac

Are a big no-no,

But with enough determination and a low enough fence,

You can still end up with a security breach

As this next bizarre incident proves.

Imagine your plane is taxiing

At hartsfield jackson, atlanta international.

You look out the window

And see a half naked man on the runway,

Pacing around your aircraft.

- [passenger] wow!

It's unclear why he's on this access runway,

But airport perimeter cameras show us how he got there.

The man runs down a hill,

Sprints across traffic,

And hops a fence.

And just like that he's on airport property.

Maps of the airport and surrounding areas

Show that the barefoot man ran approximately

One and a half to two miles to reach the aircraft.

Stunned passengers on the delta plane watch in disbelief.

(laughing) - [passenger] what the...

- [passenger] that's crazy.

- [robert] passengers say at one point

The man jumped on the wing

And pounded on the planes windows.

Atlanta police responded to the emergency call

Within minutes.

- [passenger 3] look out the window. What the heck.

- [robert] atlanta police arrested the half naked man

Who they say was under the influence of narcotics.

Some airports have special entrances for vip's,

Giving them preferential treatment,

But not all airports.

So let's continue with a fresh installment of

When celebrities attack.

This looks like a typical interaction between a customer

And a car valet

At the john glenn columbus international airport in 2017.

But the customer is actor/comedian faizon love,

And nothing about this will be typically.

Love strikes fast.

So, what's the story?

Let's roll this back.

(tape rewinding)

Reportedly, it was over a thousand dollar charge for a car

Love had left in the airports long-term parking.

The actor would later claim the valet mouthed-off to him,

Threatening to push him around.

He says, he thought the valet was about to spit on him.

(intense music)

The other valets rushed to the man's side

And tried to fight the angry "couples retreat" star away.

The valet reportedly sustained a cut above his eye.

Love was given two years of community service,

180 days suspended jail sentence, and a $500 fine.

(jet engine whirrs)

- [robert] travelers will tolerate

Quite a lot of aggravation

When flying our nations airlines.

That is until it involves their beloved pets.

A united express flight about to take off

From salt lake city returns to the gate

When a woman refuses to put her dog and its carrier.

Officer's board the plane to address the situation.

- [officer] is this your dog?

- Yes. It's my dog.

- [officer] okay. The captains requesting

That you get off the flight

So you'll need to take your dog with you.

- And I want my money back before I get off this plane.

- [officer] no, you're going to get off first

And then you can discuss getting a refund.

- [robert] the dog was reported growling

And snapping that flight crew.

- This is the worst airplane I have ever been.

- [officer] hey listen, you're holding up this whole plane.

- I don't care. You're holding me up.

- [officer] hey, you're going to go to jail or you're go

- I'm not gonna go to jail, mister.

You're looking to the wrong lady.

- [robert] according to united airlines regulations,

Any animal traveling in the cabin must remain in a kennel,

Under the seat, at all times.

- [officer] stand up.

The woman's companion gets up to follow

As she's escorted off the plane.

No charges were filed and america was not sued.

(jet engine whirring)

- [robert] t-rex, feared prehistoric predator,

Or just a cool guy to meet at the airport.

Imagine taxiing to your gate in buffalo and seeing this.

This jurassic reptile goes extremely old school at work.

But the ultimate tyranno appearance

Has to be this next one

That occurred at toronto's pearson international airport,

Where these two young boys

Have come to see their grandmother arrive

And you know where this is going.

- [woman] what are you going to say to your grandma

When you see her.

You just knocked over my child.

You literally just knocked him over.

(laughing)

- [robert] grandma maybe old but she's no fossil.

- [woman] oh my god.

- Everyone wants to blast on their caribbean vacation.

Some more than others.

At maho beach in st. Martin

Tourists can enjoy the soft white sands

And clear blue waters

And hair raising views of incoming jets.

The beach is right next to an international airport

And it's popular with tourists looking for kicks

And getting blown by the jet engines.

The dangerous challenge puts them inside exhaust winds,

Blasting more than 150 miles an hour.

Not everyone escapes unharmed.

Keep your eye on the woman in red.

(intense music)

Let's see that blast again.

(tape rewinding)

Her friend goes first and barely misses the wall,

But then she loses her battle with the wind

And that wall.

She survived that thrashing,

But this makeshift thrill ride

Has caused its share of injuries

And at least one fatality.

(jet engine whirrs)

You've heard the pre-flight safety spiel so many times

That now you just tune it out, right?

But maybe don't

Because you might be on a flight with these people.

This westjet flight attendant isn't gonna let life or death

Information ruin the fun.

- [flight attendant] now should the cabin pressure change

Full oxygen masks will automatically drop from the

Panels above you.

Remain seated and wait for the masks to work

To start the flow of oxygen.

- [robert] and it's a canadian flight, so,

Eu fois de plus en francais. (once more in french)

- [passenger] oh, he's gonna do it in french. Okay.

(laughing)

(instructions in french)

- [robert] and this flight attendant

Just tells it like it is.

- On the back of the wall

There's a large one that says the word flush

And then it says the word press in engleosha

So please push that button every single time, okay?

Every single time.

For some of you, push it twice.

You know who you are, I'm not judging.

Just do what you got to do.

Above you see there's a reading light, air vent,

And put your belt on and a flight attendant on it.

However, just recently we have been rated, once again,

As the worst airline for customer service

In the united states.

So I wouldn't bother pushing that button.

That's right. Thank you.

- [robert] it's funny because it's true.

- It's a lot easier being the worst.

'cause if we were the best,

I would have to act professional right now,

And I just can't do that. No.

- Ready? Let's go. Stomp...

- [robert] and oh great.

Another want to be rapper gets on the mic.

- ♪ my name is adele and I'd like to say ♪

♪ captain rich says it's time to be on our way. ♪

♪ so fasten your seat belts, make them nice and tight, ♪

♪ you better do 'em good, ♪

♪ we're gonna check if they're right. ♪

♪ carry on bags under the seat on the floor ♪

♪ or there's an overhead compartment ♪

♪ where they can be stored ♪

♪ laptop computers, powered down, stowed away, ♪

♪ welcome aboard swa. ♪

(clapping)

- [robert] next time you board keep your ears open

Because your plane might just be

Holding an open mic flight.

(jet engine whirring)

- [robert] for more than a year

Travelers have been wearing masks

And lowering them to go through airport security.

That system has worked fine,

But what happens when a person comes along

Wearing more than just their mask.

This man has lost a bet

And wearing this outfit is his punishment.

- [traveler] what happened javi, they won't let you go?

Ah, really?

- [robert] now tsa can't match his face to his id

Because he just doesn't seem himself today.

- They made you wipe your face off?

Javi what happened to your face makeup bro?

- Bro, I couldn't get on the plane

If I didn't take my face makeup off.

They couldn't recognize me.

- [robert] once they board,

He can finally just sit and relax in his ticketed seat.

Everyone loves the day at the beach.

There's sun, sand, surf

And occasionally a dramatic emergency landing.

Florida beach goers were enjoying themselves in the ocean

When they happen to witness something

You don't normally see every day at the shore.

- [man] holy (beep)!

(plane engine stalling)

- Oh! (screaming)

- [woman] oh my god, oh my goodness

- [robert] a world war ii airplane

Known as the tbm avenger

Was forced to make an emergency landing into the atlantic,

Right in front of hundreds of people on the beach.

- [man] holy (beep) dude.

- [robert] the aircraft was a restored torpedo bomber

Used by the united states military back in the 1940s.

After it suffered a mechanical failure,

The pilot, who was performing in a nearby air show,

Was able to safely bring the plane down

In the waist deep water.

Luckily the pilot wasn't injured

And refused any medical treatment.

- Oh! (screaming)

- [woman] oh my god, oh my goodness.

(jet engine whirring)

- [robert] what's more touching than the airport reunion?

You can't deny the sheer joy of the anticipation,

The hugs, and all those sloppy wet tongues

All over your face.

Mia, the german shepherd, has been waiting 30 days

For her owner to get back from vacation.

(laughing)

Now that they're reunited in the atlanta airport

The shepherd finds 10 ways to say I miss you.

(laughing)

This dog owner is back home in Spain

After visiting nine countries in 11 days.

And who missed him most?

His four and a half year old twin jack russells,

Archie and bella.

But who's more excited, daddy or doggies?

And here's ms. May.

Her human has been on a long military deployment in africa.

The doggy watches the escalator in anticipation

Of her treat.

Ms. May was just a pup when army soldier cassandra cabrera,

Left home 10 months ago.

She obviously remembers her personal hero.

Judging by these moments, man's best friends

Definitely know how to do airport reunions.

(jet engine whirrs)

- [robert] those guys with batons directing 50 ton jets

Around the tarmac are properly known as ramp agents.

Here's a look at three of the best.

Number three.

In toronto, even coach passengers are treated

With some first class entertainment.

(laughing) (upbeat music)

Number two.

At nashville international,

This confident agent dances like no one's watching.

(upbeat music)

Hold me closer to tarmac dancer.

And number one.

Topping our list is kyran asford,

A local celebrity at rochester international airport,

Thanks to moves like these.

Here he is again, strutting for another set of passengers.

- [flight attendant] we are coming through the cabin

To make sure that your seat belt is securely fastened,

Seat backs and tray tables are in the upright

And locked position.

- [robert] kyran says his goal is to make at least one

Person smile a day.

Judging by the reactions heard in this video,

Mission accomplished.

(jet engine whirrs)

That's all for this episode before our departure

It's time for the short flight of the week.

It's a guy at baggage claim

Who needs to pick up new friends.

(laughing)

(jet engine whirrs)

(bell dings)
