THIS is the moment a pair of "drunk sisters" had a complete meltdown in an airport after their flight was delayed.
The two "erratic" women lost their cool inside the terminal of Newark Airport in New Jersey.
Footage taken by a fellow passenger shows the inebriated sisters crying and screaming as they found themselves in a wild confrontation with Aer Lingus staff and police.
During the bizarre meltdown, one of the women claimed to be a lawyer and warned cops that there would be consequences if she was to be arrested.
The footage shows the second woman jumping up and down while screaming: "Can anybody help us? Please somebody help me. Please!"
The clip was uploaded to TikTok over the weekend, where the poster said the women were behaving "erratically" at around 8pm after being told they could not catch their flight to Dublin.
According to the Aer Lingus records, the flight was experiencing severe delays.
The video, taken earlier in the month, begins with a blonde woman with glasses crying in the arms of her brunette sister who can be heard making promises that they will still be travelling to Ireland.
"I'm not going to let you down. We're going to Dublin!," she said.
The brunette sister then approaches the gate and demands Aer Lingus staff to let them on the flight while the blonde woman, sporting leggings and a purple jumper, appears to have calmed down.

She reaches over and covers her sister's mouth in what appears to be an attempt to stop her yelling but the brunette rips her hand away and storms off - continuing her arguing.
Other passengers can be seen staring in shock as the brunette woman carries on delivering her screaming speech as her blonde sister paces behind her.
But the shocking clip then cuts to a police officer and the brunette woman tackling each other as she continues to yell.
She is pushed into the railing before dropping to the floor, still yelling and trying to free herself from the cop's hold.
Her blonde sister also appears to be being restrained by another police officer but is not wrestling back.
The video's audio has cut out at this point in the footage but the blonde woman can suddenly be seen screaming into the camera as her sister is tackled to the floor in the background.
The woman who filmed the chaotic scenes was on a Facetime call as the situation was unwinding and she and her friend could be seen laughing at the bizarre events.
The footage posted online has racked up a mega 714.2k views, over 33.8k likes and over 1.6k comments from stunned TikTok users.
One viewer wrote: "I will never understand getting that drunk before a long flight. I don’t want to be hung over when I land".
A second asked: "Why is this kind of thing happening so often?!?!?"
A spokesperson for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey called the women "intoxicated."
"Officers made attempts to de-escalate the situation, but the women disregarded their instructions," authorities told the Daily Dot.
The blonde sister was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest while the other received a criminal summons for disorderly conduct.
