Hammer time

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Aug 29 '24, 12:26

An enraged traveler was caught on camera destroying an American Airlines counter in Chile with a hammer just moments after realizing that a scammer had apparently sold him a fake plane ticket.

The Haitian man flew into the violent rage at Santiago’s Nuevo Pudahuel Airport late Monday after trying to check in for his American Airlines flight to Miami, Florida, local outlet Cooperativa reported.

Footage shot by bystanders showed the construction worker, who was set to stop over in Miami en route to Haiti, suddenly rifling through his work bag after an airline employee informed him he wouldn’t be able to board the flight.

He was filmed screaming as he climbed behind the counter and started obliterating multiple mounted TV screens with the hammer.

The man then smashed several computer screens on the check-in counter, the clip shows.

The irate would-be passenger caused roughly $20,000 in damages, authorities said.

He was eventually detained by airport security and turned over to cops
