Chaos ensued at the Miami International Airport this week when a woman threw a computer monitor at a gate agent in an apparent public meltdown, documented by several social media users.
The woman, identified as 25-year-old Camila McMillie, caused the scene at Gate D-39 on Tuesday afternoon when she noticed that her children had wandered off to use the bathroom without her knowing.
At the time, McMillie was being rebooked for a flight she had missed while on her way from Birmingham, Alabama to New York City.
She can be seen on video demanding that the gate agents find her children before starting to scream, flail, and pull the boarding pass equipment off of the gate counter— before eventually lifting the computer monitor at the gate counter and throwing it at the gate agent.
In another video, McMillie is being detained by officers as she attempts to climb on and over the gate counter as passengers videotape the ordeal.
