A mentally ill man was removed from a Spirit Airlines flight that landed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport from Ft. Lauderdale, FL., the man just went "berserk for no reason."
WSBTV reports that a fellow passenger recorded part of the chaos and posted the video to YouTube.
"There's a bomb on the plane! If she takes me off, I'll blow the (expletive) plane up," the man could be heard saying on the video as police officers removed him from the jet.

Once Atlanta police removed the passenger, the pilot addressed the situation.
"Folks, it will just be a few more minutes, please remain seated. We'll let you know. I appreciate everyone's cooperation. I want to sincerely apologize to everyone on board that airplane today for that," the pilot said.
Nothing dangerous or illegal was found on the plane.
The man was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and authorities say they do not plan on filing any charges at this time.
