Default TransAtlantic rumble !

Looks like civility aboard a/c is on a downward spiral these days .
Are some people really this keyed up while travelling that they loose all sense ?
BTW. I don't know how they consider 12 people involved in an altercation a 'mass brawl '.

How can you forget this one??
From Associated Press:
OAKLAND, Calif. — Authorities say a St. Louis-bound Southwest Airlines flight was forced to return to Oakland International Airport after a male passenger stripped, hit another passenger and fought with crew members.
Alameda County sheriff's deputies say flight 947 returned Thursday morning after 21-year-old Darius Chappille of Oakland allegedly EXPOSED HIMSELF TO THE FEMALE PASSENGER SITTING NEXT TO HIM AND PUNCHED HER IN THE FACE.
Lt. Howard Jacobs says flight attendants and other passengers then subdued Chappille, as he disrobed. He was apparently completely naked when sheriff's deputies arrested him.

Wow !
People can say what they will about the old days but I don't remember anything like this or other incidents happening .
Looks like he decided to make his last flight a memorable one and schould make for interesting dinner conversation with the family .
