Security Escorts Screaming Passenger From Denver Southwest Gate After Overbooking Denial

A TikTok video shows security removing the traveler after a delay tied to a reported overbooking.

Overview

  • The confrontation at Denver International Airport was captured by TikTok user Taylor Graboyes and has drawn millions of views since Friday.
  • The woman shouted at a Southwest gate agent, asking, “Do you guys feel safe?” and “Why is our plane late?” while demanding the employee be fired and threatening to sue.
  • Witness accounts say the passenger was denied boarding because the flight to Boise was full after a delay tied to overselling.
  • Airport security arrived roughly 30 minutes after the outburst began and escorted the traveler away as other passengers cheered.
  • The poster said the gate agent was in tears afterward, and news outlets reported no immediate response from Southwest Airlines or Denver International Airport to requests for comment.
