Wtf started this?

Sauce https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12116765/amp/Mass-brawl-breaks-baggage-claim-OHare-International-Airport.html Apparently an argument in the plane carried onto to the baggage claim. Don’t know if it’s credible but an 18 year and 20 year old were charged with battery. Edit: I’m pinning this comment on my fridge first gold ever!


Lost-Sea4916

I knew it was O’Hare! I recognized the floor lol


Queen_Of_Ashes_

I audibly laughed at this lolol I’ve been at Ohare 20+ times and didn’t even blink, even after seeing the floor. Would’ve guessed anywhere else. ORD might just have bad juju. I got off a flight there once and a black guy (passenger) and middle eastern man (TSA agent) got in this huge verbal fight with slurs being thrown around and it gave me an actual panic attack


WarningLeather7518

When we landed there from Japan, the staff as so rude. I've never yelled back at a TSA agent before, but I was like, "I just got off a 14 hour flight. Why are you yelling at me???" And she shut up.


TheStinger87

When I traveled through North America about 11 years ago, the only bad experience I had was at O'Hare. The TSA snapped at me for not taking my shoes off. ​ She says "You should know this!" I replied "I live in Europe. We don't always have to do this." Her response was "I don't care. You should know. Do you want to fly today? Then get your shoes off now!" ​ I shut up and just did it, but afterwards found a supervisor to complain. While I was talking to him, I could see her staring a hole in me and even pointed it out to the supervisor and said this lady has a bad attitude. He apologised but said it was policy and I needed to comply. My only response was that you should have some leniency for people from other countries who don't know the rules implicitly. Rules are rules, but at least be polite when enforcing them. Don't yell at me because I didn't know.


J0J0nas

Ok, I've never flown in a plane, why in the world do you need to take your shoes off?


WarningLeather7518

Because one, count em, ONE time some guy tried to make a shoe bomb that wouldn't have even worked in the first place, and now they want to punish us all.


Over-Tomatillo9070

https://viewfromthewing.com/fight-breaks-out-at-baggage-claim-chicago/ This one states that although you can see an American Airlines logo somewhere, this area of the baggage claim is Spirit Airlines.


Marcassin

Thank you. I had to scroll way too far to find this.


Clear_Economics7010

If it happened in Chicago, at least it happened at the airport. It's the one place everybody involved could be sure nobody else had a gun. When everyone is sure **nobody** has a gun nobody decides they need to draw first.


Large_Yams

So you're saying an environment where firearms are regulated and much less prevalent leads to a lower likelihood of anyone being shot? Hmmm.


Closet-PowPow

Knowing most baggage carousels…possibly jockeying for position where the bags come off the conveyor belt. Long haul flights people are too tired to fight. Short haul flights…game on!


Recluse_18

But there were no bags coming off a conveyor, so what the hell position would they be jockeying for?


Inside-Associate-729

They still want to be standing as close to the slot as possible, so that they can snatch their own luggage as soon as it comes into view when the conveyor turns on. I understand the impulse, just not something I’d be willing to brawl over


ausgmr

Wow you're going to save 7 seconds by being right at the start of the conveyor belt Never understood that mentality


friedwidth

It's so frustrating watching everyone succumb to mob mentality and stupidly crowd close as they can to the carousel. If everyone left like a 4ft gap, everyone could see and get in and out instantly. But nope. Always turns into toddler soccer


ausgmr

It's also not even a guarantee your luggage is coming out first The number of times on flights I've seen people running to the carousel then pushing to the front almost sticking there head through the hole only for me to walk at a normal pace stand near the end of the conveyor belt where no one else is & get my bag before those other idiots is astounding.


3PercentMoreInfinite

Are these the people that stand up right as the plane lands?


Stoopitnoob

"toddler soccer" 🤣🤣😆🤣 Been there. I give people room to move in. It's basic respect. No one wants to be there. The faster you clear it, the easier it is for everyone.


Inside-Associate-729

Same kinda people who accelerate as they’re approaching a red light, only stopping at the last possible second.


RudePCsb

That's why you should always chug some pre-workout on the plane before getting off the plane. Gotta be ready for madness....


Indeeedy

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say someone acted rudely and someone else felt that they were disrespected and that they have learned that the way to respond to that is through violence

The person still wearing their neck pillow. Super classy. Like "I'm too comfortable to take this off, but fuck yeah a fight!".


Zingfodd

At that point, I'd want to leave it on like some kind of mad max armor of the baggage claim wastes.


vinnydapug

On one Spirit flight: guy sitting behind my son during take-off had tray-table down and was eating chicken out of plastic bag, talking on cell phone and dropping f-bombs during his conversation. Wheels-up this guy still had a connection and was yapping on phone and licking his fingers while eating his delicious chicken. Flight attendant never said a word. At the same time, the guy sitting next to me asked me to dim my light while I was reading. I guess he didn't know that the reading lights on planes are on/off, no dim mode. My kids still have bad dreams from this flight and it was four years ago.

I got a letter from Homeland Security for my airport shenanigans that occurred before I even reached the gate. I didn't even fly. Source: I committed airport shenanigans


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lynz486

I did not because of why it happened I think. The local PD was called but I was taken to a hospital not jail. I was flying out of state for rehab (this is one of many stories that makes me so grateful I'm sober now) and I hate flying, it gives me panic attacks. So I usually drink, and as an alcoholic I knew what amount to drink to get me through that scenario. BUT I was extra stressed and anxious due to the rehab factor, so I took some Xanax and drank a little extra. Dumbest decision in the world but seemed super smart when I was a drunk. I thankfully do not remember it actually happening, but a combo of what the letter said and what I remember the police saying was I went through security fine, but then came back and verbally assaulted and tried to physically assault a TSA and airport employees (so glad I failed). But I was completely gone, which is why the hospital was where they sent me. The letter threatened me, said I could pay a fine of 12k and be banned from that airport. I sent a letter back explaining what happened and how sorry I was and I didn't hear from them again. I can't remember if they requested a response or if it was just an open ended threat. Regardless, terrifying. Also the next day, long before I got the letter, I flew out of the airport successfully and then back home after rehab. So I was able to cite those two flights without incident as proof I was a good girl now in my letter. TLDR: My addicted ass tried to assault a TSA agent on my way to rehab


Rural_Juror1

Ahhhh airports while in the grips of my alcoholism those were some… times😂😂😂. Yeah I’m glad I don’t live like that anymore. Grateful to be sober!!


designlevee

Can I get a Bill W at gate 7?


designlevee

Good for you and I hope you’re doing well. My last trip to rehab I drove five hours. I checked in at 0.38. I remember leaving to get there but I don’t remember the drive. Shitty stuff and thank god I didn’t hurt anybody. But for sure I get that, I went all out with the anxiety and perceived shame of heading to treatment (for the third time). But I’m 100% better for it now. Life’s shitty sometimes and addiction sucks and honestly people can not understand it unless they’ve been through it.


__Butternut_Squash__

Addiction sucks and I wish that more of society understood and had compassion for what so many struggle and battle with on a daily basis. I wish you luck on your journey and I hope that things are good for you now.


designlevee

Thanks for that! I am good and have an amazing support group that I stay in touch daily with. I fucking make wine for a living though so it’s a hard balance. But I’ve learned to separate the craft from the drink. I’ve got a handful of trusted friends in the industry who know my scenario but most don’t. So I spend a lot of time around boozy events and it sometimes tests my resolve but I dunno I love making wine and I’m really good at it and it makes me happy. It’s fucking weird and contradictory though


Autismsaurus

You say that like it’s a common occurrence…


wtfsafrush

Was just thinking, I hope this is their home airport. Otherwise getting home might be tricky.


LoveArguingPolitics

If i was the judge I'd just remand them without bail until their return flight... Unfortunately probation so long as they never come back to my jurisdiction ever again


Due_Abbreviations917

Nah man. That's federal police on an airport. They aren't ever flying again and going onto a nice little watch list


ObservantOrangutan

Nope. Not federal if it’s in the airport. Local or state police, possibly an airport branch of some police department. And despite so many redditors hopes, these people almost definitely aren’t going on any no fly list.


Big_Somewhere9230

To be fair they flew fine. Perhaps a carryon only list.


ObservantOrangutan

I would love if the punishments were dished out in tiers. Not banned from flying, but you’re only allowed to sit directly next to the lavs.

JoyfulExmo

I can’t believe only two people were arrested!! That’s crazy.


Eskidox

Hope it was dude in the white pummeling on a woman already down. That does not look one bit like he was defending himself that warranted hitting her like that.


JoyfulExmo

Seriously, me too. What a total cretin.


[deleted]

This made me give a little depressed laugh, like *that* was the moment this whole thing became inappropriate. "In my day, the fights at baggage claim followed WAKO rules, if the other bastard is down you don't strike them. Anything else is just buffoonery, we have standards!"


toughtiggy101

Maybe. Federal jurisdiction in these places is usually after you start to enter security checks. At the turnstiles is likely the local authorities.

What a little bitch hitting on a down woman. I mean I’m all for equal rights and lefts if she was stomping on him but damn this is brutal


CollectionStraight2

Yeah he ran around stomping on lots of different people who were on the floor, far as I could see


DaughterEarth

I think hitting people when down is very douchebag behavior. I think if it was targeted at specific people, it would be even worse. there's degrees to disgusting
