Angry women lose their nerve as baby on board wouldn’t stop crying

Cape Town – If you’ve ever sat next to a crying baby or toddler on a flight you would have some sympathy with these angry Chinese women who lost their marbles when a baby on board a domestic Chinese flight from Chongqing to Hong Kong made too much noise for them to handle. 

Travelling alongside a crying child is difficult, but these ladies took their anger to a whole new level. 

The two women started to quarrel with the baby's 27-year-old mother, Chan Juan Sung, and the fight soon erupted into a full on brawl that only ended when the pilot threatened to turn around the plane and make an emergency landing if the women didn't stop fighting.

Daily Mail reports that the cabin crew managed to step in and separate the women, but not after some shouting and screaming (from the ladies and not the baby, this time), as well as a few hair pulls! 

Chinese air travel has been in the news for a few days now with some bizarre incidents happening on domestic Chinese flights. An impatient passenger delayed a flight by deploying the emergency slide recently, whilst another first time flyer from China opened the emergency exit just before take-off because he needed some fresh air!


Babies on Board 

Many babies on planes are restless and often cry because they aren't able to regulate the pressure that builds up in their ears when the cabin is closed, like adults do. The pressure causes them ear pain, and there is little parents can do to better this ailment. 

Traveller24 reported recently that Britain aims to scrap air travel taxes for children. For many, this seemed a welcome deduction for a travelling family, but childless travellers are less excited about the easier access for children to planes. What are your thoughts on the matter?
