I never saw one of these and I hope I never do, a Toddler causing a flight delay.

 

Hong Kong-bound flight CX654 was scheduled to take off from Bangkok, Thailand, but was delayed when the flight crew asked a 3-year-old boy's parents to follow safety instructions. And buckle the kid’s seatbelt.

 

The parents insisted that their child be allowed to sit on their laps. No, Mom and Dad, the cut off age for lap sitting is under two, your kid is three, put him in the seat and strap him down.

 

The kid was having none of it, he refused to sit in his seat.

 

The situation escalated quickly and passengers on the flight got increasingly angry, prompting airline staff to ask the family to get off the plane.

 

Defiant dad says no, if you keep harassing us we will not leave,  One lady passenger says, Call the police, we paid our money, she asks the dad "Why are you allowed to harass all the passengers on board?".

 

The boy’s father, still refuses to go, saying, ‘If you keep on talking, we won’t leave.’

 

Then the passengers start chanting, KICK THEM OFF! KICK THEM OFF!  No they didn't but that would have been cool!

 

Finally the family decided rather than stay and face down the angry mob they should get off the plane.

Now that you know what they are saying, watch the video. It even has animation!

 

 

The flight left 27 minutes later than scheduled without the three year old.
