An airline traveler went a bit crazy at an airport in Chile, using a hammer to break apart the check-in counter! This happened after he found out that he was sold a fake ticket…still no reason to act like that.

The incident took place at Santiago’s Nuevo Pudahuel Airport late on Monday, August 26, 2024.

According to Hindustan Times:

“The enraged traveller was trying to check in for his American Airlines flight to Miami, Florida, according to local media outlet Cooperativa. However, as his ticket was invalid, an airline employee told him he wouldn't be able to board the flight.”

Santiago Nuevo Pudahuel Airport, which is also known as Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL) or simply Santiago International Airport, is recognized as Chile's largest airport, as well as its busiest international airport.

This major air travel hub is situated in Pudahuel, approximately 9.3 miles northwest of the bustling heart of central Santiago, and it boasts a stunning view against the picturesque backdrop of the majestic Andes Mountains.
