So much for flying the friendly skies these days.
Everything was going as normal on the flight from Tokyo to Japan, when suddenly a man jumped up and started punching the guy behind him.
“No one provoked him — he was cool up until a few minutes before he started hitting the guy,” passenger (and guy who recorded the video) Corey Hour told CNN. “He started verbally abusing and intimidating people. Nothing triggered him, it just happened.”
Hour tweeted that the fight ended when he stepped in:
The video ended when I stepped in & confronted the man in the red shirt. I told him to leave and squared up with him, he backed down n left.

For the record ANA staff and passengers handled the situation with grace and respect. They did the best they could to diffuse the situation.

As of now and after speaking with the other passengers the motive for why he did this is still UNKNOWN. None of us have any idea why at all.

Don’t fly. Ever.
