Don't Put Your Seat Back Up And Get Punched In The Face

We can all sympathize with the rage you feel when the passenger in front reclines his seat so that your knees are trapped and your dinner tray stabs into your stomach. Fortunately, most of us don't act on this rage. But a guy traveling British Airways from Nigeria to Heathrow did this week.

When the guy in front refused to put his seat back up, the guy behind got up and punched him. Their friends joined in and at the end of it all, twenty passengers and staff were involved, with fists, bottles and belts flying. After arrival at Heathrow they were both arrested and have now been banned from flying BA. So just check if the guy behind you looks too big and burly before you recline your seat, okay?
