A black passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight has accused the company of racism after she was asked to disembark for not wearing a mask while using the bathroom.
Footage shows the woman angrily protesting after she was asked to leave the plane from Denver to Chicago on Thursday.
She apparently launched the tirade after she was asked to leave because she was not wearing a mask in the bathroom, though she did put the mask back on after leaving the restroom.
Flight attendants chose to remove her after another passenger complained the fact she wasn't wearing a mask was making them 'uncomfortable'.
It was not immediately clear why the apparent offence caused flight attendants to remove her from the flight.
Though it's customary for passengers not to use to the bathroom before the flight takes off, the cabin crew are allowed to let people to use the toilet at their discretion.
Despite seeming to leave the plane, the angry passenger was back on board and gave the steward a piece of her mind.
The footage was taken by Sergio Workman, a 29-year-old technology consultant from Redding, who was on the flight.
He said the flight attendant had already decided the woman would be removed from the flight when he arrived at his seat.
The tirade took place when she returned to collect her belongings, Workman said.
He added: 'After she left the flight, there were murmurs of what had happened but no public announcement made from the crew.
'I felt the airline was discriminating only because they did not give her a fair chance to comply, simply resorted to removing her and her guest from the plane.
