Eva Air stewardesses lauded for bravery after breaking up mid-air scuffle between 2 men
The life of a flight attendant is not all glitz and glamour. Oftentimes, the job entails dealing with unhappy passengers with a smile on their face.
Three Eva Airlines air stewardesses, however, recently went the extra mile to de-escalate a fight between two male passengers.
About three hours into a 11.5-hour flight from Taipei to San Francisco on Tuesday (May 7), two men were prevented from exchanging blows by the three cabin crew, reported TVBS News.
In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by user Alex Pierce, a stewardess can be seen with her arms locked aroundthe shoulders of a man in a white shirt as he swings his fist aggressively at a passenger who's seated. Amid the fracas, the flight attendant appears to get elbowed in the face.
A second stewardess assists her from behind while a third female cabin crew stands in front of him, holding him back.
The man can also be seen trying to pry the stewardess' arms off him while shouting, "don't hold me".
Another male passenger wearing a blue striped shirt then comes into frame and lunges at the first man in an attempt to punch him, but narrowly misses.
He gets pushed back by the third stewardess, who plants herself between the two menwith arms outstretched to keep both parties apart.

Even then, the man in white repeatedly shouts at the other party to "move", aggressively yelling while pointing to another passenger who's seated.
