An unruly passenger was removed from an Atlanta-bound Delta airlines flight from New York's JFK airport on Thursday during a reported drunken-rant.
The man was seen hurling expletives and the n-word as police hauled him off the plane.
Reports say police were called to the plane before takeoff after he started making threats.
According to podcast host Shawn Wasson, a tipster on board said the man was "yelling and making threats on the plane ultimately screaming death to America and making gun noises" during a Thursday flight from JFK to ATL.
"He then cried about how he's going to miss his niece's wedding and then finally being taken off. Wild ride," they said.

The man has reportedly been identified as 60-year-old Jerome Anixter, who was arrested by Port Authority Police before takeoff, according to the New York Post.
He faces assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration charges.
"Delta has zero tolerance for disruptive behavior, and we thank law enforcement for their assistance in removing this unruly customer," a spokesperson for the airline said in a statement to The Post.
"We apologize to the customers on Delta flight DL2342 for this experience and any delay in their travels."
