UPDATE: Passengers aboard the Incline Railway when a viral video was taken on the 4th of July are now explaining the moments leading up to the camera recording, capturing what CARTA called “demeaning language.”

Father Charles Scherer and his son, Nathan, were visiting Chattanooga from Florida for the holiday. When they boarded the trolley, Nathan said the “disturbing comments” began.

Nathan said the ride up the mountain was pretty silent, with most passengers expressing discomfort with the remarks. He said he thought about the incident the entire way up the mountain.

“I thought I better start recording on the way down, in case something is said, just because I know how it made us feel... I just didn't want people to have to feel this way coming to our country, or even just people who were American citizens.”

"Happy Independence to the rest of you. Welcome to the greatest country on the face of the planet, and if you disagree, you can leave," the conductor says in the video. "To the very, very few Americans in here, Happy Independence Day."
