Newark Flight to Puerto Rico Diverts to JFK, 3 Women Duking it Out!

[FN FAL]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Police detained one woman and questioned two others early Sunday after a fight broke out in the first minutes of a flight to Puerto Rico, causing the plane to be diverted to John F. Kennedy Airport, officials said.

One woman apparently started a fistfight with the other two, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the region's airports. Port Authority police were to turn the women over to FBI officials, who would decide whether charges would be filed, Coleman said.

JetBlue Flight 561 took off from Newark, N.J., at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and landed at JFK about an hour later, said airline spokeswoman Jenny Dervin.

The plane, carrying the remaining 147 passengers and six crew members, resumed its trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, at 1:50 a.m., she said.

The identities of those in custody were not immediately available.

Messages left at local FBI offices early Sunday were not immediately returned.

I think women are born with paroxysmal side, some more than others.

Naah. They were fighting over the corn chips...

Happens everywhere. My favourites are the Taiwanese - they really get stuck into eachother on some of our flights and quite often lead passenger "revolts" over food issues and delays. Love em...

I'm really disappointed to read that at no time during the fight did the women start "making out". :bawling:

Sometimes it's hard to tell when broads are making out, it's not like they have a sheriff to shake hands with.

I'm surprised that there is not a 2 page article in the NY times how great jetblue handled the situation and how awesome they are and that the stock did not jump 25 % up.....

Sounds like Jetblue got some SWA pax. Either that or an FA suggested that the woman clean the cabin

Actually I think they were all out of rum and were going to refill in SJU.
