A Frontier Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Las Vegas was diverted Tuesday after two passengers got into a heated, expletive-filled argument.
A video posted on a passenger's Instagram account shows a woman yelling at another person indistinctly before a flight attendant and several other passengers appear to get involved, telling her to stop. According to Fox News, flight attendants tried to quiet the women three times, even switching seats.
Flight-tracking data shows the flight is supposed to take five hours and 30 minutes. Fox reported the diversion added an hour onto the flight time.
However, as the fight went on, the flight was ultimately redirected to Denver, Frontier confirmed to Fox. There, local authorities escorted the women off the plane.
A representative for Frontier did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The flight was grounded for about an hour before taking off again for Las Vegas. A rep for the airline told KYW-TV that the two women were flying together.
In a follow-up video posted by the same passenger, one of the women is seen being escorted off the plane as some nearby passengers begin clapping.
"Bye, bitches," the woman can be heard saying.
The fight is just the latest in an apparent onslaught of bad passenger behavior; As of July 9, the Federal Aviation Administration has recorded 983 reports of "unruly passengers," Insider previously reported.
So far this year, airplane passengers have attempted to open aircraft doors, been voted off the plane by their peers, and punched crew members — to name a few incidents.
