London. On July 4, a Ryanair flight from Agadir, Morocco to London had to make an emergency landing after a 'mass fight' broke out among passengers. The Ryanair plane was diverted to Marrakech just 36 minutes after taking off from Agadir, Morocco.

According to a report in the New York Post, the incident started when a man asked a female passenger to change her seat. The young man, in his 20s, asked a woman sitting with her daughter if he could take her seat so he could travel with his wife and children. The woman did not agree to change her seat, due to which the man started threatening her.

There was a heated argument over the seat

Meanwhile, the argument between the woman and the young man kept getting heated. Meanwhile, the Ryanair pilots took off on time, oblivious to the growing tension inside the cabin. When the plane reached cruising altitude and the seat belt indicator was turned off, the woman passenger's husband came to her rescue, who was asked to change seats.

was trying to punch

A passenger on the plane said, "They were trying to punch each other. One of the families was part of a larger group, so other passengers started joining in. Then a woman in the back row started having a panic attack because of everything happening. She was screaming and the kids were crying. It was like a snowball effect."

"In particular, the plane had only been in the air for 36 minutes when it was forced to make an 'emergency landing'. It was very stressful. It was like a flight from hell. And all of this was exacerbated by that one passenger wanting to change seats," he said.

The passenger's health deteriorated during the fight

During this, a male passenger fell ill and the cabin crew had to give him oxygen before landing. The Ryanair flight landed in Marrakech, Morocco, where police boarded the plane and arrested nine people involved in the fight before removing them. Meanwhile, the passenger who had fallen ill was checked by doctors and told that he was not in a condition to travel in the plane. However, the passenger refused to get off the plane and started losing his temper by allegedly behaving abusively towards the cabin crew. He was later removed from there by the police.

There was a tense situation on the plane for more than two hours. All 200 passengers had to struggle. At the same time, due to the time lost due to the emergency landing of the plane, the passengers were sent to a nearby hotel for the night, and then all the passengers were taken to the destination by another plane the next morning. At the same time, according to the outlet, the morning flight was also canceled and the passengers arrived at London Stansted Airport on Thursday evening.
