By Masterweb News Desk United States St. Louis-bound Southwest Airlines Flight 947, Thursday morning had to abort its flight after fist fight broke out between a naked passenger and the flight crew. Darius Chappille, a 21-year-old male passenger, twenty minutes into the flight, reportedly exposed himself to a female passenger sitting next to him. He punched her in the face after she rebuked him screaming loud. Exchange of words eschewed between the two and other passengers who challenged him. The situation got worse as he started hitting those that confronted him, which got flight attendants running to the scene. Chappille upon the intervention of the flight crew completely removed his clothes as he fought them. He was eventually subdued naked as the plane returned to Oakland International Airport, its take-off point. He was completely naked when sheriff's deputies arrested him using two sets of handcuffs to take him into custody. Jim Scanlon, 52, of San Ramon, a passenger on the aborted flight, described Chappille "a big guy, about 6-1 and a good 300 pounds, wearing an Oakland A's baseball cap, probably in his mid-20s". The plane after about a two-hour delay, resumed its original route. Several traumatized passengers too shaken to fly opted to cancel their fight.
