Some translation by local colleagues.
Apparently she was shopping and expected the 2 stooges, the ones skulking embarassed as
in the background, to get onboard the a/c. Because she believed if they were already on-board, that the flight would be 'held', while she bought her obviously very important shopping.....
A translation from the first bit is the best - because she can see the plane outside the window and she think's like the proverbial KMB bus, that the crew just reopen the door, she swipes the octopus reader with her fake LV handbag and everything proceeds as normal!!

Why is it that during/after this disgraceful behaviour by this Princess that at least four security guards walk away?
I guess they are too busy checking for 110ml of hair gel.

seems they did the best thing as the area was quiet and she was not creating any problems for the travelling public or endangering anyone or anything....
but with an outburst like that I bet they kept a close eye on her on the subsequent flight...
VOLATILE is the word that springs to mind ...
Anger Management Courses might be helpful.
I also suspect she might have been a high value CX passenger
Any lesser mortal and I suspect the police would have been summoned to have her rapidly removed from the area......

Airlines sorry for hissy fit clip
March 5, 2009 - 3:14PM
Cathay Pacific says it has apologised to a passenger whose hysterical tantrum after missing a flight from Hong Kong has clocked close to five million hits on YouTube.
Cathay said on Thursday it had identified the member of its staff who took a mobile telephone video of the woman passenger on February 4.
The video found its way to YouTube and has since become one of the site's most popular clips ever. It has been featured in news reports and TV shows across the world.
The three-minute video starts with the screaming woman running towards the departure gate and bouncing off a female security guard at the Hong Kong airport.
She then starts banging a desk before collapsing to the floor and rolling around, while maintaining a high-pitched wail.
"We have conveyed the findings of our inquiry to the passenger concerned, and her family, and have issued an apology for the inconvenience and embarrassment she may have suffered as a result," a Cathay spokeswoman said.
She said the person who posted the video on YouTube was not a member of staff and that the employee who had recorded the incident had been disciplined.
The airline offered the passenger seat upgrades and air miles, and she had not sought compensation from Cathay, the spokeswoman said.

What about OTP?
Unbelievable! Here we have an airline that puts immense pressure on it's groundstaff and flight crew alike in getting flights away on time, and this happens???
Don't you notice the panicked look on traffic staff's faces when you tell them to delay boarding or that there will be a delay to departure? Mind you, when you also tell them that the delay is not going to be attributed to them, you'll also notice the huge look of relief too!
What sort of message does this send to the people on the coalface? Next time I get pulled up to the 3rd floor to explain a delay, I'll just throw a tantrum in front of the CP and all will be ok.......
