Driving home this evening I heard this being discussed on the radio and I couldn't believe what I was hearing; so when I got home I had to go looking for the story.
From what I could find it was Spirit flight 141 the aircraft was an Airbus A319-132 N524NK and the CN is 2929
A brawl involving multiple passengers on a Spirit Airlines flight that had arrived at LAX from Baltimore on Wednesday (USA time) was caught on camera by another passenger.
In the cell phone video, women can be seen pulling hair and at least one punch was thrown.
It all started, witnesses said, after the plane had landed and a few passengers were playing their music loudly. According to CBS Baltimore, five women were involved in the melee that began because the music was apparently being blasted on a boom box.
Other passengers asked them to turn the volume down. From there, tensions rose and the passengers came to blows.
“I’d be really afraid just because of all the security and all the issues going on right now. I would think that’s bigger than just girls fighting over music,” said LAX traveller Shamaila Taj. “A plane is probably the last place you would want to do something like that … I would freak out, more so than anything else, because there’s nowhere else you can go.”
Flight attendants and passengers were able to quickly diffuse the fight, witnesses said, and no one was seriously hurt.
Airport police and the FBI also arrived on the scene. No arrests were made but one person was cited.
