A clip of a hysterical passenger screaming at staff and writhing on the floor after missing a flight at Hong Kong airport has become a YouTube hit.

The video, which starts with the screaming woman running towards the departure gate and bouncing off a female security guard, has clocked up 465,000 hits in just a few days.
The woman starts banging a desk before collapsing to the floor and rolling around, while maintaining her high-pitched wail.
The woman was travelling on a Cathay Pacific flight to San Francisco on February 4, a Cathay spokeswoman said.
"All passenger doors had already been closed and the crew was preparing the flight for departure," she said.
"As the passengers had failed to show up on time, we had already offloaded their checked baggage to comply with the security requirements."
The spokeswoman said the woman had been able to take a flight a few hours later, adding passengers are always advised to arrive at the gate no later than 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
"We do not know who shot the video or who posted it on the web," she added.
