   A passenger's rant onboard a Spirit Airlines plane is going   
   viral on social media.   
      
   Passenger Safira Allen had apparently missed an earlier flight   
   from Atlanta to Las Vegas on May 1. Airline officials said Allen   
   ran down the boarding ramp of another Spirit flight to Vegas and   
   took a seat that wasn't ticketed to her.   
      
   When the gate agent tried to remove her from the flight, Allen   
   refused and instead fired up her cellphone to take her story to   
   Facebook Live.   
      
   In her video, which has landed millions of views on Facebook,   
   Allen goes on a tirade about the airline's name, among other   
   things.

   "Y'all going to use Jesus' name, the Holy Spirit? That's got to   
   change, y'all need to be called something else. Y'all need to   
   change y'all name because nothing Holy Spirit about this   
   airline."   
      
   Minutes into the rant, a crew member on the flight is heard   
   telling other passengers that they will have to deplane to redo   
   the boarding process, which prompted a negative response from   
   many onboard.   
      
   "If I can't go to Las Vegas, Nevada, neither can y'all!" Allen   
   is heard telling the passengers as they exit.   
      
   Atlanta police are eventually seen boarding the plane to remove   
   Allen, who gets her bag and finally leaves her seat, but she   
   keeps her Facebook Live rolling.   
      
   Allen later apologized on her page and said the Atlanta Police   
   Department arrested her for trespassing.
