After the United Airlines debacle, another incident happened the following month of May. It was Monday morning when it occurred. Yesterday morning while driving to work, I heard on the news radio two men broke out into a brawl shortly before takeoff from Tokyo to Los Angeles. One male passenger sat 3 rows behind the two men throwing punches at one another like in a boxing match while the flight attendants tried to break it off. The scene was captured on mobile phone video until it got too out of hand, the male passenger stopped filming to intervene. I am sure you can find this news online and on YouTube.
Needless to say, it made me realize it is not always fun and safe to fly. It’s not always smooth sailing. It’s already a hassle to go through security, standing in long lines, checking in, the long wait etc. As soon as you finally get yourself seated, you’ll never know which passenger could potentially cause a scene to cause long delays. You’ll never know when you’ll be bumped off because seats are not always guaranteed, and ticket prices are so expensive. As long as you can get from point A to point B safely on time, then you’re lucky.
Did any of the recent events changed your perspective regarding flying?
