A recent Air Canada flight was canceled due to the bad behavior of a flight attendant. According to CTV News, Air Canada Flight AC73 from Casablanca, Morocco, to Montreal was boarding when a passenger asked for a blanket.

The simple request caused the flight attendant to have a meltdown and start screaming at the passenger.

"You will behave, or we will get off!" she can be heard yelling in videos posted on social media. "I'll tell the captain right away. Yes or no?"

However, when passengers told her to get the captain, she refused.

At one point, she threatened to remove the passenger and call the police. In response, other passengers said they would deplane as well in solidarity with their fellow passenger.

Eventually, the flight was canceled, and everybody had to be rebooked on another flight with a different crew. Air Canada said it is investigating the incident.

"We are taking this incident very seriously. It is under review, and we will take appropriate action. We apologize to our customers and deeply regret that their experience today fell far short of what they have come to expect when flying with Air Canada," spokesperson Christophe Hennebell said in a statement.
