Fight Breaks Out On Russian Flight

Fights in Russia aren’t exactly novel. I mean, I think half of YouTube is made of Russian dash cam road rage videos, like this one:

But it’s not every day you see a fight break out on an airplane. In this case it’s not nearly as “graphic” or climactic as some of the dash cam videos, but it’s still well worth a few minutes, in my opinion:

Questions that immediately spring to mind include:

  • Why is the guy not wearing a shirt?
  • Why isn’t the crew doing anything?
  • Does anyone know what’s being said? Does the captain’s announcement have anything to do with the fight, or is the timing a coincidence?

Oh, Russia!

@Endre Lol...I see other animals too. It was business class Nordwind airlines GOI-UFA - I'd love Ben to review them. More info is in Russian news (http://www.vesti.ru/doc.html?id=2169264) - nothing special, just drunk guy wants to fight, his woman was yelling too, crew moved "Putin" to other part of the plane, he debauched on the arrival too. I guess he may ask for compensation for not enjoying business class for entire flight :)

To address Andrew's point ("Two of those ten videos had people shattering windshields/rear window’s with their fists!"). Have you ever noticed broken auto glass around parking spots, especially in bad neighborhoods? (Actually, more so in good neighborhoods that border bad neighborhoods.) That's because it's incredibly easy to break a car window with your bare hands. It's tempered glass and so it doesn't even cut you. Thieves use an old blanket to muffle the noise of the glass breaking and falling to the pavement. You could look out your apartment window one minute and see your car perfectly intact, and the next minute the car's window will be broken and the thief will have stolen whatever he saw inside that he wanted and already be a mile away.

@ DJK -- the other "Ivan Y" is referring to the conflict in Eastern Ukraine which is pretty much a civil war at this point; because that region is Russian-speaking (although plenty of Russian speakers elsewhere in Ukraine), has a lot of ties to Russia and wants more independence, the rhetoric in mass media (including in the YouTube comments in the video) inevitably has turned into Ukraine vs. Russia (with implications that Russia wants to take over that part of Ukraine) with all sorts of new slang words being made up for either side. As someone who has family in both countries, it's a very tragic turn of events. ~ The Original Ivan Y.
