Chaos ensued at the Miami International Airport this week when a woman threw a computer monitor at a gate agent in an apparent public meltdown that was documented by several social media users.
The woman, who was identified as 25-year-old Camila McMillie, caused the scene at Gate D-39 on Tuesday afternoon when she noticed that her children had wandered off to use the bathroom without her knowing.
At the time, McMillie was being rebooked for a flight that she had missed on her journey from Birmingham, Alabama to New York City.
McMillie proceeded to demand that the gate agents find her children before beginning to scream, flail and pull the boarding pass equipment off of the gate counter before eventually lifting the computer monitor at the gate counter and throwing it at the gate agent.
In one video, McMillie can be seen being detained by officers as she attempts to climb on and over the gate counter as passengers videotape the ordeal.

“Once the subject noticed the children were not with her, she became irate and began to scream, demanding the gate agent to find her children,” police said, according to reports from CBS Miami.
Other clips show McMillie pacing and yelling as a crowd of passengers surrounds her. She begins to dissemble parts of the gate check-in area and knock equipment to the ground.

“Acts of violence against our team members are not tolerated by American Airlines and we are committed to working closely with law enforcement in their investigation,” the airline said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with our team member, and we are ensuring they have the support they need at this time.’
McMillie is currently facing charges of aggravated battery, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.
