Cellphone cameras recorded the exact moment on Saturday when passengers of easyJet Flight 2122 lost what was left of their patience. It was 10:17 p.m. in Terminal 2 of the Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport in southern France.

In an instant, the stressed-out travelers seemed to embody the world’s collective frustration with the state of air travel, banding together at the departure gate to voice their anger over still waiting for their flight, which was scheduled to depart for London at 10:35 a.m.

“Why are you smiling?” a female passenger yelled at a gate attendant, according to a video of the episode published by the British newspaper The Sun. “This is a disgrace. We have children, babies.”

“Babies!” another woman interjected.

In the background, a man moved toward the attendant at the gate and, while holding a child in his left hand, tried to snap a photo of the attendant with his other hand. The employee swiftly slapped the cellphone to the floor.
