Middle East Airlines flight fight forces plane to land
I saw this on the news and then found it via Reuters. The plane was headed to London from Beirut and had to stop in Istanbul because a fight broke out in-flight. While the details of the flight fight are vague, and it’s speculated that a passenger instigated a fight with a flight attendant and another passenger intervened, it’s pretty crazy to see an all out fight on board. I have never witnessed anything like this; however, I did have to subdue Miles one time with an arm bar because he got VERY testy when he was told they’d run out of cheese plates.
