Air plane passengers fight dirty 10 minutes to take off
Passengers on Los Angeles bound air plane from Tokyo, Japan scrambled to safety as a male passenger suddenly started raining blows on another man seated in the row behind him.
“No one provoked him — he was cool up until a few minutes before he started hitting the guy,” passenger Corey Hour, who videotaped the confrontation, told CNN. He added that the fight broke out 10 minutes to take off.
“He started verbally abusing and intimidating people. Nothing triggered him, it just happened.”
The “air rage” episode occurred Monday night on All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight NH6 from suburban Tokyo’s Narita International Airport to LAX.
Hour, from Phoenix, Arizona, used his phone to capture the moment a man in a red Hawaiian shirt began punching another passenger on board the plane before it departed. He added that the fight began just 10 minutes to take off
“The airline staff did what they could to defuse the situation, and they reacted appropriately,” he added.
“There were children everywhere, you can hear in the video them crying.”
After the angry man was led away, he came back a second time. He was held down again then led out of the plane by an airline official, Hour said.
As of now and after speaking with the other passengers the motive for why he did this is still UNKNOWN. None of us have any idea why at all.

He said the video ended when he stepped in and confronted the man in the red shirt.
“I told him to leave and squared up with him, he backed down n left,” Hour said.
Police at the airport said a drunk passengr was arrested that day but it could not be confirmed if it was the same man on the flight.
