A woman who recorded footage of a pugnacious passenger hitting the back of her chair is now threatening legal action against both American Airlines and the traveller in the seat behind.
Wendi Williams' video found viral fame after she recorded the incident on the American Airlines flight from New Orleans on January 31.
At the time she took to Twitter after finding little sympathy from the flight crew. The video saw 1.3 million views on the social media platform, but the verdict was split as to who was in the wrong.
A poll in an article on nzherald.co.nz shows that 38 per cent of respondents felt she was in the right for complaining about the other passenger's behaviour.
Meanwhile 36 per cent sided with the punchy passenger and 26 per cent could sympathise with neither of them.
