[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A fierce brawl over airplane seats broke out at Miami International Airport. Notably, documentary filmmaker Billy Corben, who was present at the scene, captured the incident on video and shared it on social media, drawing widespread attention.

On the 27th (local time), foreign media including the New York Post reported that about seven passengers engaged in a heated physical fight at Miami International Airport terminal.

The media released footage of the fight, and the first person to post the video on social media was Billy Corben, the director of the film Screwball.

The video shows two groups exchanging punches and kicks at Gate D-14 of the American Airlines terminal inside the airport.

Voices shouting "Stop," "Hey, please stop," "You'll kill someone," and "Security!" can be heard trying to break up the fight, but the groups ignored them. They even trampled on opponents who had fallen during the assault.

They continued to hit each other violently until security personnel arrived and intervened.

The police arrived and arrested Jameel Tremain Decquir (20), while pursuing three others who fled.

It was reported that three victims sustained minor injuries from the incident.

The intense brawl at the airport began as a dispute over seats.

A witness told the police, "An American Airlines counter agent told Decquir and three other men waiting for the flight that there were only three standby seats available for the Chicago-bound flight, and that one person had to be left out or wait for another flight."

When the American Airlines counter agent explained the shortage of seats and asked passengers to yield, Jameel and three others insisted on taking the seats for themselves, which escalated into a physical fight.

Meanwhile, famous stars such as Jenny Johnson reacted to Corben’s video with comments like "The problem is always on the way home" and "This isn’t a fight, it’s just stomping around."

Netizens who watched the video mocked the perpetrators with remarks such as "Is this indoor exercise?" "So ignorant," "I want to sit in the VIP (center) seat and watch," and "Where are the security guards?"
