A video of a heated confrontation between a flight attendant and a passenger who allegedly asked for a blanket has gone viral on social media.

According to CTV News, Air Canada Flight AC73, a flight from Casablanca, Morocco to Canada’s Montreal–Trudeau International Airport, was cancelled Monday after a crew member became angry with a passenger.

The video, taken by another passenger and posted to the social media platform X, shows a crew member shouting in French and English at a passenger not seen on screen.

“You behave or we get out!” the stewardess tells the passenger. “I’ll tell the captain right away. Yes or no?”

When a passenger suggested calling the captain anyway, the airline employee refused, adding, “I don’t want any harassment against my crew.”
