A Fight Broke Out On A Vegas-Bound Frontier Airlines Flight At 30,000 Feet Which Caused The Plane To Make An Emergency Landing In Denver
KLAS Las Vegas — A planeful of Las Vegas-bound passengers ended up being diverted to Denver International Airport Tuesday night after a fight broke out involving some passengers.
Frontier Airlines flight 2143 left Philadephia around 10:30 p.m. (ET) Tuesday and was scheduled to arrive in Las Vegas around 8:40 p.m. (PT) but was approximately an hour late because the plane deviated to Denver and two passengers traveling together were deplaned and met at the gate by Denver police officers, said Michael Konopasek, Frontier Airlines corporate communications manager.
A Las Vegas resident on that plane, who was returning from a vacation, took video on the plane of the fight. The woman who asked not to be identified said two women began loudly arguing with each other and a flight attendant approached them three times to stop the argument and did end up moving one woman to a different seat.
The passenger said the two women continued to verbally fight and swear loudly even after being separated. She said it appeared one of the women involved in the fight hit a male passenger on or near the head as she made her way to a bathroom.
(Flight from Philly. Shocker)
Just last week Nate was dealing with an absurd level of shit on his flight out of Las Vegas, trying to return home. I felt his pain through twitter, and unlike Dave who relished in in,
I empathized.
There's nothing quite like being at the mercy of the airlines. You literally have no recourse in this country. They have zero regulations barring them from telling you to go fuck yourself, totally ruining your local or international travel plans, and it doesn't look like it's changing anytime soon.
Which brings me to this week's installment of "Assholes In Flight". Once a week these days we get videos of some lucky benefactor of societal evolution, who should have otherwise been eliminated via Darwinism years ago, acting like a flat out piece of shit, scumbag.
Today it was these classy ladies going at it in front of a packed plane on the way to Las Vegas. Frontier of course.
The lady who captured, narrated, and posted this video "DJ 2 AM" claimed her and her friend paid $400 for these tickets. And that their five-hour flight to Vegas turned into a 9-hour ordeal!
My question is at what point of needy do you have to be at to fork over $400 for a flight on Frontier to Las Vegas? What the fuck could possibly be making you make a decision like that? That's like paying somebody money to stand at the top of your staircase and piss all over you. Sure there are weirdo's who get off on that and enjoy it, but not the other 99% of us normal folk.
Did Frontier just corner the market on these scumbags who will pay good money to have extra-extra-awful experiences in the air?
Is Jet Blue out of their goddamned minds for wanting to merge with them?
I have so many questions.
Like for instance WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE AIR MARSHALLS?!?!
What is that freaking 9/11 tax we all pay for on every airline ticket going towards if there isn't a federally licensed (strapped) air marshall on every Frontier (or Spirit) flight?
Also, how irate would you be if you were on one of these flights that had to be diverted because two pieces of shit had to act like animals and force pilots to make an emergency landing somewhere you weren't paying to go?
p.s. - I'm still shocked Spirit hasn't woken up and realized they need to advertise with Barstool just so that we're not allowed to post these viral stories each week about them.
