A viral video captured onlookers unable to hold back their amusement as a woman was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Georgia after reportedly going off on a racist tirade.
The incident was captured by Talia Devlin, who later posted the video to her TikTok page @talbrooks.
The video has gone on to receive over 1.3 million views.
At the beginning of the video, the camera zoomed in on the woman being put into handcuffs, where she could be heard asking the officer "are you arresting me?" to which the officer replied "yep."
The officer's response resulted in laughter from the onlookers, sounding not too different from a laugh track on a sitcom.
As the woman struggled with the arresting officer, Devlin approached two unseen male onlookers and asked them what happened prior to the woman being put in handcuffs.
One of the men could be heard telling Devlin the woman was arguing with a Delta Airlines employee before eventually spitting on them.
As security approached her, the man said she began screaming the n-word at the employee before spitting on them again.
When Devlin asked the men if the woman was inebriated, the men were divided on their opinions.
One believed she was drunk, the other thought she was sober.
All the while, the woman could be seen trying to escape the hold of the officer, eventually pulling them both towards the reservation desk, where an audible crash occurred as she fell over.
The woman screamed for someone to record her altercation as security continued to struggle to get her off the premises as she screamed "it's wrong" at the top of her lungs.
After finally managing to get her out the door, another bystander said "bye, Karen", as Devlin noticed she lost a shoe during her struggles.
Devlin revealed in the comments section after the woman was finally removed from the terminal, all of the amused onlookers broke into a round of applause.
The video's comments were filled with the same mix of shock and amusement the passengers at the terminal seemed to experience in the video.
A few pointed out the situation seemed unreal and more like something in a comedy sketch.

Devlin also put the minds of those concerned for the woman's lost shoe to rest.
The shoe, along with all of her other personal items, were apparently retrieved and brought to her.
The way the situation was handled seems to have made Delta Devlin's new airline of choice, as she indicated in the video's caption:
"[Delta] made my day by arresting this racist."
"Officially my preferred airline."
