Our flight was delayed 3 hours.”

“It’s OK, she wants to make it hard, we’ll make it hard,” the attendant said. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” the woman protested. She added that her daughter will be going to college, although it is unclear why she said this.
The main comment on TikTok reads, “If it’s important that you stay on the plane, then wear a mask. I do it 12 hours a day 6 days a week. It’s not hard to damage.”
In a follow-up video posted yesterday, the woman said, “We were delayed three hours, I was supposed to be in New York that night and I couldn’t even get there.
“I am in no way condoning this behavior at all, obviously you’ll see TSA doesn’t play games. She was taken away in handcuffs and in a wheelchair.”
She also clarified that the woman was wearing a mask, but it was pulled up and down, which led to the confrontation.
