A video of a mother throwing a major tantrum at Orlando International Airport after being told she could not board the plane because she missed her flight went viral on social media this past week.

The woman was identified as 29-year-old Dana Pierre, from Brooklyn, New York. She was with her two children—a 12-year-old boy and a seven-year-old daughter—when she had her meltdown.


Pierre was caught on a cellphone camera hurling objects while yelling at Frontier Airlines staff members at the ticket counter upon discovering she missed her flight back to New York.

At one point, Frontier Airlines employee Nidia Vargas pepper-sprayed Pierre, making her back off.

Moments later, Pierre continued with her rampage and picked up one of the separation stanchions from the check-in counter's queueing area and attempted to strike employees with the metal pole before employee William Rijo managed to take it away from her.

Pierre's young daughter was heard throughout the video hysterically crying, "Mommy! Mommy!"

The furious mother was eventually restrained by a security officer and taken away from the airline's counter as her daughter followed her and continued crying for her mother.

WARNING: NSFW language


The airline's spokeswoman confirmed "an incident occurred" at their ticket counter on June 30 and referred the Miami Herald to the Orlando Police Department.

According to an affidavit, officers responded to "a physical disturbance" at 8:54 p.m.

The complaint said once officers arrived at the scene, "they saw the suspect, identified as a 29-year-old woman attempting to strike a Frontier employee with a pole."

Employees said Pierre went behind the counter in an attempt to attack the manager and she threw a computer keyboard at her.

One employee threatened Pierre and told her she would "knock you the f'k out in front of your kids."

Pierre then walked away and told her son to look after his sister because she was "going to f'k up this b*tch."

As Pierre appeared to be removing some jewelry, her daughter cried out:

"Mommy! I don't want you to go to jail!"


People remained concerned for the two children.



According to the Daily Mail, Pierre was arrested and taken to the Orange County Booking & Release Center where she was charged with aggravated assault.

Her two children were turned over to the custody of the state Department of Children and Families.

Pierre was released on a $3,000 bond on July 2, according to Orange County, Florida court records.

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
