LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- A Southern California real estate mogul was kicked off a flight after yelling obscenities at passengers and bragging about his wealth, among other things.

"Eat s--- and die. I wasn't f------ talking to you," local businessman David Brackett is heard saying. The tirade was captured by a fellow passenger.

When someone calls him a loser, he fires back, "You're right. I'm a loser. I own six houses."

"I'm 28. I make $4 million a year. What do you do?" He is heard saying.

Security was called in to remove Brackett from the plane. As he was being escorted out, he continued to brag - this time about his 176 IQ and 20/20 vision.

Two other men were also booted off. Passengers applauded after the men were removed from the plane.

The entire incident unfolded aboard JetBlue flight 266 from Long Beach to Sacramento last Friday. The plane was forced to return to the gate shortly before takeoff.

JetBlue said local authorities removed the customers, and the flight continued on.

Two of the men were arrested for being drunk in public, police told ABC News.

The men were later released from Long Beach Jail after their breath test results were belog the .15 blood alcohol content level.

No charges were filed.
