A video from a Southwest Airlines plane is going viral after the pilot warned the alleged behavior by a passenger could ruin the other travelers’ vacation.
Teighlor Marsalis, a passenger on the flight, posted a video to TikTok from inside the plane before it had taken off.
“So here’s the deal, if this continues while we’re on the ground, I’m going to have to pull back to the gate, everybody’s going to have to get off, we’re going to have to get security involved,” the pilot is heard warning. “Vacation is going to be ruined.”
He continued, “So you folks, whatever that AirDrop thing is, quit sending naked pictures and let’s get yourself to Cabo.”
The video has received over 2.5 million views since it was posted.

Apple’s AirDrop feature allows users to share images or documents to other Apple devices within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
Users can send photos or documents to anyone who has their AirDrop feature on without having their contact information.
However, users can prevent unknown users from AirDropping them materials.
Marsalis told Nexstar the video is from an Aug. 24 flight.
She alleged that a male passenger “AirDropped a nude photo of himself” to other passengers.
Marsalis explained that a passenger informed a flight attendant of the unsolicited AirDrop and the pilot was then notified of the behavior.
“The flight made it happily to Cabo with no more nudes!” she added.
In a statement, Southwest told Nexstar, “The safety, security and wellbeing of Customers and Employees is the Southwest Team’s highest priority at all times.”
“When made aware of a potential problem, our Employees address issues to support the comfort of those traveling with us,” it added.
However, the airline did not offer additional details about the incident or say whether the passenger was banned from future flights.
