Lansford claimed the man responded to the flight attendant “with understanding” and yet did not wear a face mask.
His refusal leads to an argument between a passenger sitting next to Lansford and a man who refuses to wear a mask.
Neither passenger was identified by passenger Nsford, but in her Instagram share, she identified the passenger as “A” for the man who refused to wear a face mask and “B” for the man sitting next to her.
Passenger B continued to argue with the man, as well as used profanity towards other passengers. Lansford said Passenger B was drunk on one part of his story.
The animosity between the two passengers escalated until the passenger A stood up, and Lansford believes that Passenger B had a swing, and two persons were engaged in physical postures over the seats. The video shows a crew member calling security.

Passenger A was removed from the plane, while Passenger B was allowed to continue to its destination, Lansford said.
Lansford praised the flight attendant’s performance on the situation on the plane and said an attendant believed he had seen many such contradictions with passengers refusing to wear them.
