Mid-Flight Mayhem: Loud Music Leads to Major Passenger Brawl on a Plane

There was quite a bit of turbulence on a Wednesday flight from Baltimore to Los Angeles, and the air conditions had nothing to do with it.

A brawl between several women on a Spirits Airline flight was documented yesterday by an onlooker filming it on their cell phone.

The fight broke out following complaints from passengers about two reportedly drunk women who were blasting a boom box they had on the plane with them. Passengers approached them and asked for the music to be turned down, but the two women held the boom box up in defiance, and that’s when it all went bad.

Witnesses later said that flight attendants and passengers worked to stop the fight, and no one was seriously hurt. The FBI is looking into the incident, but even though five women were pulled from the plane when it landed, none of the passengers have been charged yet.
