Miami Airport Fight Club: Another Nasty Gate Area Brawl

Matthew Klint Posted onMay 6, 2021May 6, 2021 30 Comments

Another week, another nasty fight at Miami International Airport, which we might as well dub the Miami Airport Flight Club. This time, apparently, it was not over seat assignments, but over masks and a continuing feud that began on a flight from Chicago.

Miami Airport Fight Club: Another Nasty Brawl In Gate Area That Began On Southwest Flight

According to a witness, two women got into a verbal altercation onboard a Southwest Airlines flight from Chicago Midway (MDW) to Miami (MIA). The fight then continued on the ground in Miami.

I could give you a play-by-play of the fight, but perhaps it is better to just watch the videos below or close your eyes and listen to the exchange.


From another angle and with context:

https://liveandletsfly.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Miami-Airport-Fight-After-Chicago-to-Miami-Southwest-Flight.mp4

My favorite line from the exchange. A man yells, “You’re making a fool of yourself!” to which a woman replies, “No, he’s not he’s defending himself.” In these sorts of situations, you defend yourself by running in the opposite direction…

Alcohol was thought to be in play (though Southwest has still not re-introduced alcohol onboard) and the hair extensions were weaponized to inflict maximum damage (one Reddit user asked what hairport is this?).

Southwest Airlines and Miami International Airport have not offered any comment on the incident, which allegedly took place May 5th.

The fight comes just a week after another nasty brawl in Miami that saw multiple people fighting it out over standby seats.

 CONCLUSION

We’ve seen a pair of very nasty brawls at Miami Airport over the last week. Hopefully these will not become a weekly occurrence…

    Is it a coincidence that both events of fights in Miami included a flight to and from Chicago? Classy people!!!!

    How does BLM have any respect for movement with this common place behavior.., and their offspring will only perpetuate the same. Good Lord help us! This goes for any ethnicity. Disgusting.

    @Chase: I don’t think Miami should be included. The two incidents were not caused by Miami people. One flight was going to and the other was coming from Chicago. Miami has a huge Latin influence, people are more laid back and do not get into trash like that.

    Outside of Asia, I’ve actually never seen adult passengers get into a live physical altercation with other passengers at the gate. They do happen elsewhere, but I’ve just not seen them except on videos.

    TBH my biggest issue with traveling or just going out anymore isn’t the virus but the tempers and behavior of people. Too many don’t think rules or laws apply to them. Some are actively looking for conflict or maybe even hits on youtube/social media.

    I would hate to have any kind of job involving dealing with the public face to face.

    I told someone a few months ago that I think the world needs a vacation month that is just resting, relaxing, having fun and ignoring all politics and other stressful stuff.

    Diversity, inclusion, tolerance, under-represented, people “who look like me”. I have no idea why any of those words would come to mind.

    I marched with Ralph Abernathy and Dr. King and now I’m so embarrassed. Reminds me of that 2011 incident at National Zoo.

    They don’t represent BLM. They represent what is in all races; Undisciplined, Disrespectful and No Guidance.

    If the media could find a way to blame this on racism, they would.

    How does BLM have anything to do with this? Completely separate issues! The fact that you are trying to make this about BLM and race is very telling.

    It’s telling because these are likely the same people who ‘marched’ and ‘peacefully protested’ last year demanding their lives be ‘respected’ when they don’t even respect their own. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

    Chicago doesn’t want you either, their standards are too high for you.

    Good to see low key racists like ss, JGRL, Joe, JoEllen, Trevor, etc posting on here.

    This is what happens when you weren’t raised right. When you weren’t taught morals, manners or just plain decency! These people act like savages!! They have No respect for themselves or anyone else. It is disgusting how trash has damaged what used to be good.

    This has nothing to do with BLM. There are lower classes in all colors and types. But, what’s up with the blonde long dreads…just weird shit. But, key point, whites have their idiot rednecks and blacks do too. Do not lump people into racial stereotypes. ( p.s. some people may come across as redneck to others, but there are some fine people among them..) Grow up people. This has been the worst tourism year for the caribbean islands ever, because everyone is acting like f f’n idiot. self centered people seem to be empowered.

While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.
