As if air travel wasn't crazy enough these days, passengers got into a massive brawl at the Atlanta airport ... and it's all on video.
Viral footage shows dozens of air travelers fighting in the Spirit Airlines terminal ... punching and kicking their foes in the middle of the waiting area near a boarding gate.
Fists are flying and parents are trying like heck to get their kids away from the carnage ... and the brawlers are ignoring pleas to stop the mayhem.
We've seen a few fights at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport ... but this is by far the largest one to date.
Unclear what sparked the brawl here, but there's a ton of screaming and yelling ... basically just utter chaos.
Officials at the airport tell TMZ ... they are looking into the incident.
Atlanta police tell TMZ ... cops were called to the airport because of the fight but by the time officers arrived all the people involved in the fight were gone ... with no suspects or victims hanging around to talk to police.
Safe travels, folks.
All that was missing was Jerry Springer.
It was done better at the end of Blazing Saddles. Slim Pickens would have made short work of these gangsta wannabes.
George Will said in the 1990s, high airline travel prices used to mean only upper and upper middle class people or business and professional people flew. Now “the lower orders can afford tickets” and this means they don’t dress up or act in a civil manner.
Just watched the JFK time travel movie by Stephen King called 11.22.63 and the firm advice to the young man was “in the 1960’s a grown man wore a suit and a hat.”
I noticed even in Three Stooges movies the men all wore suits all over the place, even shabby ones if they were out of work. And men in bread lines usually wore them.
The Big Lebowski: “How are you going to go out and look for a job today dressed like that?”
The usual suspects?
I wouldn’t want to be stuck in a tube at 30000 feet with those loony animals.
I have no interest in flying anymore.
Yep, it’s them Boo Boo.

Man in back: “I’d be willing to bet threesomes never crossed your mind.”
“Hope you didn’t bet a lot because you’d lose.”
Woman seated, looking appreciatively at the “Stewardess.”
“Hope you believe in love at first sight because I do.”
Oh Stewardess! I speak jive.

As a primatologist, if I ever get out of this city and back to the more civilized world of chimps and gorillas I’m going to nail my boots to the ground.
Sad to say but not many are familiar with Jane’s fine field and photography work.
Those creatures again. Expected. Atlanta was once a nice place.
Ha. I still prefer the Wal-Mart online fights where two heavy set women slam each other into racks, sending the merchandise flying all over the aisles and then ramming each other’s heads into displays as employees panic.
She did’t need to go to Africa did she?
There are just a few airports you avoid when traveling no exceptions. Atlanta is top of the list.
“I have no interest in flying anymore.”
Ditto. We thought we’d go to DMV and get those “Real IDs” so we could fly. But we don’t want to fly, so won’t bother.
If there’s an emergency, we have Passports.
“Golly!”
Why why why did I look?
Seems like it's always the same people. Why is that?
Let me guess the pigment...

Was just thinking how funny it would be if AI was used to animate the pic and bring your dialog to life.
