Two women reportedly complained to another passenger, Chan Juan Sung, that her baby was making too much noise, and that she should do something about it. Chan shouted back, and at one point, the two other women — who were sitting in front of Chan — responded by reclining their seats all the way back.
Soon, the fight on Air China Flight 433 from Chongqing to Hong Kong escalated Thursday to the point where the pilot reportedly threatened to land the plane.
Xiong Wan reports:
"I was sitting right next to them when they started telling the woman to shut the baby up," she reportedly said. "She started shouting back at them, and before I knew what was happening she leant over the seat, and punched one of them ... They were fighting, the baby was now screaming and other passengers were shouting."
