COLUMBIA: A Dramatic Day at the Airport
Have you ever witnessed something so shocking it made your heart race? Well, last week in Columbia, that’s just what folks got to see at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport! John Quiñones, the charismatic host of ABC’s hit show “What Would You Do?”, filmed an emotional new episode that had many travelers gasping in disbelief.
Setting the Scene
With a mix of clouds and sun overhead and a comfortable high of 62°F that day, the airport buzzed with excitement as passersby wandered about waiting for their flights. Little did they know, they were about to become part of a social experiment that would tug at their heartstrings. The premise? A classic love triangle with a modern twist. A woman, in a secretive romantic exchange with her office colleague, was met with an unexpected surprise—the boyfriend hoping to propose later that evening!
What Would You Do?
In this episode, the action unfolded at the baggage carousel, and unsuspecting travelers became bystanders to this dramatic scenario. Through hidden cameras, Quiñones captured how real people react in uncomfortable situations. The scenario was designed to probe the ethics of loyalty and honesty, and it drew a crowd as passersby quickly turned their attention to the unfolding drama.
As the loving couple played their parts, the unsuspecting boyfriend arrived, completely oblivious to what was going on. Many in the airport couldn’t help but lean in and observe this delicate situation where they had to choose between confrontation or silence. You could feel the tension in the air as onlookers weighed their options, creating a sense of suspense that kept everyone on the edge.
Real Reactions, Real Emotions
Different reactions flooded in, and none were short of emotion. While some opted to remain silent, others couldn’t ignore the urge to spill the beans. One bystander stepped forward, whispering to the boyfriend, “She was all over her co-worker right before you walked in.” Another echoed the sentiment with urgency, saying, “I saw it too; she was just all in his face. I swear on my soul.”
This heartfelt moment resonated with one onlooker particularly, who sighed and admitted, “That’s why I don’t be in relationships. Trust me. I’ve been there too many times.” The bystanders’ shared discomfort and surprise highlighted how powerful and relatable personal experiences can be, bringing genuine emotion to this unexpected day.

Those in attendance felt every drop of his emotional turmoil, culminating in a moment that said everything without words. “The look on his face… was so emotional,” one bystander reflected after the shoot concluded. “I could feel his heart breaking.”
Impactful Messaging
