Scammed passenger goes on airport rampage

Wild video footage was posted online showing a scammed airline passenger in meltdown mode.

A man at Santiago Airport, Chile was trying to check in for an American Airlines flight to Miami.

He was informed he could not check in as his booking was fake, and purchased through a scammer.

Then, all hell broke loose.

The construction worker took a hammer from his bag and went on a rampage behind the American Airlines check in counters.

He then smashed several computer and display screens with the hammer causing an estimated $20,000 damage.

He was eventually detained by police.

American Airlines confirmed the incident with a ‘disruptive individual.’

“We thank our team for their professionalism and apologize to our customers,”
