So, picture this: you’re on a Spirit flight from Myrtle Beach to Boston, just trying to get to your destination in one piece, when all of a sudden, chaos erupts. Yep, that’s exactly what happened when two men decided to have a full-on brawl right after the plane landed.
The whole thing reportedly started with a screaming match that lasted for pretty much the entire two-hour flight. Passengers on board were already on edge, with tensions running high, but things escalated quickly once the plane touched down in Boston.
So, what could have possibly driven these two men to go at each other like that? Maybe it was a long-standing feud, or perhaps they just really didn’t like each other. Whatever the reason, one thing’s for sure: it made for one heck of a story.
The flight departed from Myrtle Beach at 9:39 pm on Tuesday and landed just before midnight in Boston.
Shortly after take-off, two men started having a loud shouting match, which escalated into a physical fight as the plane touched down and passengers prepared to get off.
It wasn’t clear why they fight started, but a flight attendant was forced to use her arms as a shield to break them apart as they threw punches in the aisle.
The two men involved have not yet been identified, but they have been banned from flying with Spirit Airlines again.
Shocking video of the fight shows two men grappling in the aisle of the plane while an attendant tries to break them apart.
The attendant holds out her arms to push them away from each other while they try to throw punches over her head.
One of the men then falls into a row of seats while the attendant climbs out of the way.
Other passengers yelled at them to stop it, but they continued punching each other on the seats.
Nicole Grome, who was on the flight with her parents, told Boston 25 News, ‘That poor flight attendant. She was doing her best.
‘She’s putting herself in a dangerous situation to protect everyone else on the flight.’
She added, ‘I was shocked that anyone would actually throw hands on a flight because that would get you on the ‘no-fly list’ so quickly.’
The plane had landed by the time the brawl began, so attendants were able to get everyone else off the plane.
Nicole’s mother, Laura, said, ‘We were on the runway, and it turned physical.
‘You just don’t know what’s going to happen and what may or may not be used as a weapon.’
The attendant told everyone not involved in the fight to get off the plane, and the men finally stopped fighting.
Father Allen Grome said, ‘I want to give a shout-out to the flight attendants. They went out of their way to de-escalate the situation. Flying is certainly not like it used to be.’
A spokesperson with Massachusetts State Police told Boston 25 News that troopers intercepted one of the men on the other side of the security checkpoint.
They told the outlet the man said he was not injured and did not want to press charges.
A Spirit Airlines spokesperson told Boston 25 News, ‘Law enforcement was requested due to a disturbance that occurred as Spirit Airlines flight 3907 (MYR-BOS) was deplaning in Boston (BOS) on May 7.
‘We do not tolerate disruptive behavior of any kind, and the passengers involved are no longer welcome on any of our flights.’
In the end, everyone made it off the plane safely, but I think it’s safe to say that no one will be forgetting this Spirit flight experience anytime soon.
