Four men got into a crazy brawl in Terminal 3 at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). The no-holds-barred skirmish quickly devolved into using wet floor signs as weapons and even led to one of the men losing a dreadlock as it was ripped from his head.

It’s unclear what caused the conflict to begin, but the men involved kept going at it while onlookers filmed. One of the men (in blue) appears to be an airport employee as he has a name badge hanging from his neck. Four this fight being three on one, the lone man being attacked held his own. No form of airport security or law enforcement is seen in the video as the battle rages on. It’s unclear if it was over after the video as the men are seen breaking up but still glaring at each other.

Anthony’s Take: It’s the holiday season, but some people are not acting too merry. While it’s unclear what caused this skirmish, it is unnecessary to ever act this way.

Why problems like this happen, at airports or onboard, happen much more currently and violently in the US?

And suuuuuper rarely in Europe? With an exception for the UK.

So much dramas onboard involving US pax from all backgrounds bahaving so badly.

Which rational explanation? An education problem? A reflect of the whole society?

As a French, it seems so surreal.

Just another day in the hood! They do this in the terminal, you wonder what they might do on the plane.

I’ve traveled all over Asia, South America, and Europe and have never seen this. Must be something about the U.S.
