Fight on a Plane – level 1

22-05-2017 07:00

This happens in Burbank, California. Passengers are leaving a plane. A fight breaks out between two men. Someone records it with a mobile phone. People try to stop the fight. Police arrest one of the men.

The airline says that its flight crews have special training. They know how to de-escalate conflicts. The airline does not say what makes the fight happen.

Difficult words: flight crew (people that work on an aeroplane), de-escalate (to make something less serious), conflict (when people have a problem and can fight or argue).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
