The exact cause of the disorder remains unclear, but some social media users speculate it could be due to overbooking or a lack of adequate ground handling by airport officials during the holiday travel surge.
Reactions online have ranged from amusement to criticism, with many calling for better crowd control measures at airports, especially during the holiday period when passenger traffic is at its peak.
