Police thought ‘crazy plane lady’ Tiffany Gomas was intoxicated, refused to leave airport

Texas airport police believed the “crazy plane lady” at the center of the viral “that motherf–ker is not real” plane meltdown was intoxicated — and threatened to arrest her, according to bodycam video obtained by The Post.

Tiffany Gomas, 38, is seen in clips telling officers “F–k you” and “Get the f–k out of my face” during the July 2 incident, which started when Gomas was kicked off an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando, Fla., following an argument over AirPods.

Earlier, Gomas had claimed the plane was in danger as she attempted to get off, telling passengers: “You can sit on this plane and you can f—ing die with them or not. I’m not going to.”

After the plane had returned to the gate, all passengers had to deplane and a new security check had to be carried out.

“As of now, we need to remove her from the flight because she threatened the flight and everything,” the manager says.

“She threatened the whole plane. So at this point, we have to make sure it’s safe. Because we cannot take it lightly,” the manager says.

Another American Airlines employee is then heard asking the cops to drug-test Gomas.

“Even if she’s on drugs, intoxicated, because she’s on something,” the man adds.

Her leaving the plane created an alternative timeline where it landed safely

The scary thing is she said “do not let this flight leave, it won’t make it” with such a scary conviction. If I were the other passengers, I would demand that the gate agent and cops ask her WHY she thinks that way if even if she was loaded with drinks and having a psychotic break!

[brandongarland]

I love how she put out a video and NOT ONCE explains WHY she behaved like she did; she only apologizes FOR behaving like she did.

If she was a karen she would have done something different like arguing a lot and going completely out of control or screaming. she seemed concerned when she said do not let the flight leave.

[reddishtykes]

How come the "not real" guy has not been identified. Everyone that was seated near to her must know who the chap is...but they're all keeping schtum. Why?

[larryolsen]

Personally, I have sympathy for this woman, she wasn’t being violent. She was having a very real psychological breakdown.
Science very much admits the brain is so incredibly complicated. They only understand very small fraction,
She in her mind as much as we see things could have seen something very real to her,
Medication’s and therapy don’t always solve the problem,
Sometimes they can actually make things worse.

She might have stopped the crash by delaying the plane even just by 20 mins for whatever reason. Parallel time lines are interesting and things have a strange way of working out. She probably just saved 200 lives.

I wonder what happened to the woman in this video bc the woman doing the apology video isn’t the same. I pray she is alright. 🙏.

[johnalexir]

The actress doing the confession isn't the same person as the woman on the plane. This story does not pass the sniff test.

[jesseman]

They are definitely trying to silence her

[prangel]

She saw something and I wanna know what she really saw. I bet the government put a scare on her for talking

[bahlona]

That woman thought that she was predicting a crash. Glad the flight made it where it was supposed to go.

[WorldwideDarts]

When you only meant to take 5mg of edibles to relax but end up taking 50mg

[BrandonWS]

All the other BS aside, the fact that she makes a claim about the plane "not making it to Orlando", is worth asking a few questions about.

[PointlessCreativity]

In my opinion, this woman had a severe episode of schizophrenia and she simply needed psychiatric help. People should have more empathy...

[lexipable]

I believe her I know a lot of people don't but even though it cost her a lot she probably saved so many lives by exposing what she saw

[moniquer]

This woman is not crazy! She saw something no one else did. Sometimes people can sense and see evil when its around. No one bothered to ask why she was feeling what she felt about that particular flight. Am sure its not the first time Tiffany flew on a flight. Spiritually i believe she got a bad "Omen" about the flight. Humans are so not compassionate today in our world. Instead of calling her out as crazy, have counselors available to take with someone going through these types of situations.

[matrox]

I bet she saved those peeps...she had a priminition, delayed that flight and saved those peeps.

[TheSellenhut]

She went berzerk or wanted special treatment. They were supposed to arrest her, but no. The public must deal with violations of the law. Arrest her for saying the plane is going down.

[nedmerrill]

I’m just glad they got somebody else to be this lady and apologize.
