Airports and airplanes continue to be a hot spot for some of the wildest behavior on the planet. There’s something about air travel that brings out the very best in humanity.
When it comes to meltdowns and fights on planes or in the airport, there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. Every other day it seems that there’s someone either flipping out, deciding it’s a good time to throw hands, or on occasion both.
No complaints here. No-Fly List actions produce great content. This week I’m going to places like Las Vegas and Harry Reid International Airport.

musician by name Zaym witnessed one of the incidents while on his way home from Las Vegas. Of course, he recorded it and posted it on social media for others to enjoy.
The video shows an overconfident man wearing a cowboy hat approaching the passenger. The man appears to be stumbling a little as he makes his way to the other man, perhaps due to his overconfidence.
Upon arriving at his destination, he was confronted by a seated passenger who appeared to be waiting for his flight like the others at the gate. The cowboy had some problem with the guy and pointed at him.

Some battles are worthless, and this is one of them.
Unfortunately, I can’t hear what was said between the two, but judging by the reactions, it wasn’t a simple greeting delivered by the cowboy. The man approaches the cowboy, stands up, and knocks him down with a single blow.
Landing on his back on the ground, the man’s cowboy hat and perhaps some of his confidence fly away. He got dropped with a punch, but it doesn’t seem like this is his first rodeo.
He remains conscious after eating the punch and can be seen getting up from the airport floor before the video ends.

Please travel safely. Cowboy Remember, just because he’s a hat doesn’t mean he can take all the punches he wants and stay standing. In some cases, you may not even be able to eat one.
There are also likely lessons here about things like choosing your battles. I think it’s too late to learn that lesson.
