Everybody has a bad day, right? But not everybody takes an axe to a parking gate when they have one…

A pilot at Denver International Airport was captured on camera, showing his “breaking point,” opting to take an axe to a parking gate as people waited to leave a lot.

CBS Colorado obtained footage of the strange event, noting that the pilot has been relieved from duty, possibly temporarily, after causing $700 worth of damage.
