Another aviation drama has gone viral this week. An intense fist fight ensued on All Nippon Airway on Monday (JST) on a flight from Tokyo to L.A.
The brawl was captured on camera by an onboarding passenger named Corey Hour who is an Arizona-based photographer.
Hour said in an interview with NBC, a man in a red shirt was acting aggressively toward other passengers before a man in a black shirt intervened to stop him from assaulting others. That is when the first fight broke out. Hour added that "the gentleman in the black was fighting defensively. He wasn't trying to start anything. He was a very calm, collected individual."
In the video released by Corey Hour, the man in a red shirt was escorted away by an airline employee, but returned to resume the fight with the man in a black shirt. That is when Hour turned off his phone camera to step in to aid the man in a black shirt.

Hour also tweeted the details of the incident. In his tweets, he explained after he intervened and "confronted the man in the red shirt", he "told him to leave and squared up with him". The man in a red shirt "backed down and left".
Hour said the man in a red shirt yelled, "You think I'm crazy? What about the government", and exited the plane.
Following the incident, ANA said in a statement on Tuesday, "All Nippon Airways to Los Angeles for the pre-flight incident. The individuals involved have been dealt with appropriately by local law enforcement."
