Unfortunately it’s not unusual to see airline passengers get into altercations with one another, and sometimes it even gets physical. However, I’ve never seen anything quite like this before, as reported by AEROIN (thanks to Carlos for flagging this)…

"It happened in Brazil though..."
LOL! I had to laugh. I expected racist comments, but Dave Stafford winds the prize for both the racism AND the stupidity. Did he read the summary on the video, and mistake Portuguese for Spanish? Did he then conclude it happened in Mexico and not, say, Spain? Why didn't he bother to read the piece before he slagged on the wrong country and citizens? Or are all brown people Mexican to him? Talk about embarrassing!
Dave Stafford, the world is embarrassed for you. Never change!
My sources are telling me that the assualter was Tim Dunn, and that the antagonizer had insulted Delta Air Lines.
Will,
I have a humiliation fetish and enjoy your comments, for I have achieved a big O! Thank you!
Dave, you seem like ‘Rod’ and all the other aliases of our resident troll. Bring back the 7 figures character!
Brazil Brasil whatever it is to you...it isn't what it was anymore...except if you're their for indecent things I shouldn't write here. Unfortunately
I had an altercation on a flight to Cabo many years ago in my late teens, when smoking was still allowed on planes. A woman lit up in the seat in front of me and I told her that she/we were in the non-smoking section. She said she didn’t care and kept smoking. I wouldn’t let it go and the FA got involved and eventually moved my friend and I up to first class. The woman’s adult son was so incensed that someone called out his mother’s bad behavior that he continued to yell at me, threatened me when we got off the flight, and somehow seemed to show up at the various places we went in Cabo over the next few days and continued making threatening comments towards me. It was really a terrible experience.
I haven’t escalated anything on a flight since then, as I’m not willing to affect my own safety on a plane or after it lands.
Can we stop using the word "tarmac" to describe paved surfaces at an airport? Tarmacadam hasn't been used in almost a century. Paved surfaces are now asphalt or concrete. More useful would be to use the word that describes the location in the airport: apron, taxiway, runway.
I think we need to get DOT Secretary Duffy down there ASAP so he can give another one of his inspiring air travel civility speeches.
