This is the fight that happened at O’Hare International Airport last night, after the Spirit flight landed. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay for the ending, as my mom was yelling at me to get out of there, but I did get to see how it all started! pic.twitter.com/iS9644befc

Absolute scenes in the baggage claim area at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport this week, which apparently escalated following an argument on the flight itself. Despite about a dozen people being involved, only two arrests were made in the end.
I actually think the best part of the video was the Tweet from the person who shared it. Poor lad would’ve loved to stay till the end and film the whole thing but his mum was tired after a long flight and just dragged him out of there.
He wasn’t the only person getting dragged away from the chaos either – it happened to this guy who had a front row view too:

It’s pretty mental how many airport fight videos we’ve seen go viral since the airports opened again post-pandemic. You’d think we’ve been back to normality long enough now to remember how we should be behaving in airports.
Although perhaps it’s more of a surprise that we don’t see more scraps break out in baggage claim, given how infuriating it can be standing there, watching the carousel and waiting for your bag(s) to turn up for an eternity. I can see why someone might snap in that situation.
Anyway, hopefully the guy in all white was one of the arrestees. Can’t be throwing those kinds of punches at multiple women and get away with it, can you?
