McAdams shared the video on December 14. The video shows a scuffle between two passengers on a plane. However, it is still being determined the incident occurred on which flight. One of the passengers can be seen shouting at his co-passenger; the man in the incident said, "Nobody speaks when I speak. I am telling you, don't talk to me like this." Meanwhile, other passengers can be seen trying to calm him down, saying, "Oye hero, are bhai, baith na tu". However, the first person ignores the attempt and moves on with shouting, "You don't know who I am," at the top of his voice.

One of the social media users criticised the passenger, causing chaos, saying, "Some people don't see place and lose their temper anywhere. Such things can be avoided, and it can be handled in a better way. People should maintain decorum and not make a horrible experience for all his co-passengers. Hope people realise this." Another user sarcastically said, "How sad. Can't call it road rage. Air rage?" Following the same pattern, another user wrote, "This is what happens when streets are taken to the sky."
