An American Airlines flight from Miami to Paris diverted and landed in Boston after air marshals on board broke cover and restrained a 61-year-old man fighting with the passenger in front of him who was trying to recline the seat, according to ABC News.

Edmund Alexandre, of Paris, was arrested and charged with interfering with a flight crew after allegedly grabbing a crew member's arm, CBS Local reported.

Look for this to happen more and more often as the room between rows continues to shrink

I never was that good at geography, but It would seem that they had MUCH BIGGER problems than leg room......

On a transatlantic flight, a straight line isn't always the shortest distance. The earth isn't as flat as most people think.

Agree with the poster above, airlines can't expect to continue to shrink seating and then for people to passively sit for hours on end. My favorite is where they charge extra for "Premium Seating" with two extra inches of room.

Indeed, kids these days don't even know which preposition to end a sentence with. It's embarrassing. Also, good morning.

You lean back on me when I'm crammed in with the coach commoners I'm gonna dig my knees into the back of your seat and bounce your arse around to the rhythm of Yankee Doodle went to town. Then you have 3 moves: lean back up, enjoy the josseling, or have a half drunk oversized honky go jihad on you at 30k feet. In the words of Bruce Hornsby and Derange, that's just the way it is.
