‘Outrageous': Flight descends into chaos after brawl

Bizarre footage taken on the American Airlines flight from Sao Paulo last Thursday shows the woman being knocked to the ground as a male crew member holds her down. The door to the cockpit can be seen wide open as members of the flight crew struggle to close it. The woman, a smartly dressed first-class passengers, begins to confront the flight attendant, sparking an argument. A worker can be heard shouting, 'Get out, get out' as the woman attempts to break her way in to the cockpit again, As the pair continues to scuffle, the woman is knocked to the ground prompting a male passenger to stand up from his seat and begin shouting furiously in Portuguese, telling the woman to 'shut up.' As the woman is ushered back to her seat she begins yelling back at the fellow passenger and attempts to rush towards him. 'You son of a b**ch, disgusting, you can't touch me, you don't know who you're talking to, you're going to get screwed. I went to ask why I was late and this [man] threw me out,' she yelled, according to flight magazine Aeroin. The fight was reportedly triggered after the woman complained about the late takeoff time. Both passengers were handed over to police after the jet returned to the boarding gate following the confrontation on American Airlines flight AA950 from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

However, not all were convinced the passenger was in the wrong. 'Airlines could avoid outbursts like this by keeping passengers informed of the delay — updates at least every 30 minutes in cases like this. It's actually surprising that more people don't react like this out of frustration,' said one. 'This is my kind of girl,' said one star-strucker viewer. It isn't known if the two passengers were charged. American Airlines released a statement on the situation saying, 'On Thursday, 24th April, American Airlines Flight 950, operating from Sao Paulo (GRU) to New York (JFK), returned to the boarding gate prior to departure due to a safety problem on board.
