Two screaming women brawl in mid-air before they are hauled off diverted flight
A packed flight had to be diverted after a huge fight erupted mid-air as they two women begin brawling - with one also threatening other passengers.
The shocking incident was caught on camera, including the moment the women flew into a frenzy - screaming and yelling at each other while fellow passengers attempted to physically restrain them. Passengers frustrated by their antics begged the women to "shut up" and "get some class".
However, this only added fuel to the fire, causing one of the women to strike a man on the head as she made her way down the aisle. Attempts to calm the pair lasted for hours, however they failed and the Frontier Airlines flight 2143 from Philadelphia to Las Vegas was diverted to Denver so police could escort the women off the plane.
Passengers on the video can be heard voicing their anger at the women after they started brawling on the flight. The cause of the catfight is unclear, as the footage starts with one of the women in a red top screaming at the top of her lungs while other passengers loudly shush her.
Passengers quickly became fed up of the women's antics (8newsnow)According to local outlet 8NewsNow, the woman in red had apparently fought with another woman she was sitting close to. That woman had subsequently moved to another seat on the plane in an attempt to put a stop to the unfolding drama.

However, the irate woman was seen swearing in the aisle of the aircraft while flailing her arms manically. Another woman, who she appeared to be seated with, became involved in the situation, which led to the two exchanging angry words.
Flight attendants headed over to the scene several times, trying to calm them down. One flyer is heard saying the attendants had been down "multiple times".
"Just get your s**t together so we can get home," the passenger said. It echoed the sentiments of other travellers stuck on board with the women.
At that moment, the woman in red aggressively confronted one of the staff members, shrieking in her face while still waving her arms around. She then spotted one of her fellow passengers recording the exchange.
The woman headed for the person filming the situation, babbling incoherently as she made her way down the aisle. Another passenger was seen physically restraining the woman, while the other woman involved in the broil hurled insults back down the plane.

The woman who recorded the footage, who chose to remain nameless, told local outlet KLAS: "It was fairly disruptive, so passengers began to tell them to shut up because their behaviour was escalating."
She claimed the women, who appeared to be travelling together, had been told by flight attendants to be quiet on three separate occasions before one of them was moved to a different seat. However, separating the women didn't seem to stop anything, according to the woman behind the video.
The pair continued to verbally abuse each other, hurling insults across the plan. A male passenger was also allegedly hit in the head as one of the women involved in the scuffle made her way to the bathroom - however, this incident was not caught on camera.

After she said "get 'em out of here", fellow passengers erupted with loud shushes and cries of "shut the f**k up." The woman appeared to have kicked off one final time as she was being escorted away, with passengers heard exclaiming "oh my god" - though this was not caught on camera.
According to the woman behind the video, several other passengers also left the plane briefly in order to give witness statements to police, who then passed them onto the FBI. The flight was able to continue its journey, landing around an hour after its intended arrival.
"Luckily, the Vegas-based Frontier crew was great," said the woman behind the footage. Causing a disturbance on a plane is classified as a federal offence, however, it's unclear whether charges have been filed against either of the two women on board.
