Beyond wow in the clouds



Wow simply does not cover it. Holy blank, might begin to get there, but not if you were one of the passengers on Air India Flight IC-844. We have to say this is the first time anyone on the Clarion Content staff can remember a fight on airplane between the cabin crew and the flight attendants!

The multi-person brawl spilled out into business class in front of mortified passengers. It allegedly began with an incident of sexual harassment by the pilots. The fisticuffs occurred in flight with the plane at approximately 30,000 feet in the air over Pakistan. The LA Times says that reportedly, "both pilots were well out of their seats during the melee." One of them was left with a bloody lip. Fortunately the flight landed safely leaving the passengers with nothing more than a horrifying tale to tell.

Read the whole story here. The list of recent Air India mishaps at the end of the LA Times article is scary. We would have to question the sanity of hopping aboard one of their planes.
