We just have one simple, but profound question when it comes to the commercial air travel industry these days:
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?
It’s never exactly been fun to fly, not with delays and gross food and tight spaces and excessive baggage fees.
But then United Airlines physically dragged a patron off a plane after it overbooked his flight.
And then Delta Airlines gave a customer the boot because he went to the bathroom while the plane was on the ground.
And now Nippon Airways … has not done anything wrong.
Still, footage has gone viral of two passengers getting into a wild brawl just prior to takeoff that speaks for itself.
In the video below, we one of the aforementioned men, in a colorful shirt, approach another man in the black shirt.
These two do not get along very well.
The latter has since been identified as Ryan Humphreys and he has since told TMZ that his opponent was ranting and raving.
He was complaining about the U.S. government prior to instigating this fight, Humphreys said, to the point of being disruptive.
This account has been verified by the passenger who filmed this, as he said on YouTube that the unidentified gentleman yelled at one point:
"You think I’m crazy? What about the government?!?"
This same fellow passenger makes a point of writing that the Nippon employees handled the situation as well as possible.
There’s only so much you can do, though.
So what led to things getting THIS bad?
Humphreys, for his part, says the fists started flying after this seemingly deranged individual started "smothering" a woman in front of him.
The violent passenger was thrown off the plane in Tokyo and then arrested after he allegedly put a choke hold on an airline employee.
Crazy, right?!?
Watch the insane footage of the airline brawl below, and then maybe think twice about whether or not to ever fly again…
