A Delta Air Lines flight was diverted when a 52-year-old woman got mad when an older lady in front reclined her seat and accidentally hit her in the head.
Amy Fine, the one who made the complaint, caused a huge disturbance on the flight forcing the plane to land straight at the Jacksonville Airport. A video released online was captured by another passenger showing Fine escorted out of the plane by police officers.
According to Daily Mail, another passenger named Aaron Kiplin witnessed the commotion and recalled that Fine was trying to take a nap when the reclined seat in front of her hit her accidentally in the head.
The irritated woman then started shouting and swearing to the older passenger that it started getting the attention of the entire flight crew. When a flight stewardess came over, the argument between the two became more intense to the point that Fine demanded the flight to be rerouted.
The stewardess informed the pilot about the demand and eventually decided to just land the plane. When they touched down in Jacksonville airport, the unruly passenger was escorted out the local law enforcers.
Arguments and issues over airline reclining seats have been emerging this week, almost third time in a row.
Telegraph recalls last week when a tall passenger became irritated when the lady in front of him reclined her seat as well in an American Airlines flight. The guy lost his temper and was arrested, which forced the flight from Miami to Paris to temporarily touchdown in Boston.
A similar scenario happened on a United Airlines flight involving a man suspected to have attached a Knee Defender device to his tray which did not allow the person seated in front of him to not recline her seat. The woman threw a cup filled with water on the guy's face when they ended in a heated argument too.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Knee Defender device is prohibited by all major US airline companies but yet to be forbidden in Britain.
