Chicago travelers whack each other with ‘Wet Floor’ signs in wild caught-on-video brawl at O’Hare Airport

Cleanup in Terminal 3!

A group of travelers and one employee threw punches, grabbed hair and whacked each other with “Wet Floor” signs in a wild, caught-on-camera brawl reminiscent of a WWE match inside Chicago O’Hare International Airport last week.

Insane video shared on social media of the Dec. 12 melee shows three men — including an employee in a blue shirt — seemingly teaming up against one man in a white T-shirt inside American Airlines Terminal Three.

The men punch each other and use the yellow floor signs as weapons, smacking each other in the head and body as the sound of the plastic slapping echoed through the terminal, the footage shows.

As the three gang up on the man in the white shirt, he knocks one to the floor and yanks several dreadlocks off another’s head, according to two videos taken from different angles.

Two of the men armed with the “Wet Floor” signs follow the man in white as he steps back — still holding the dreads he ripped out, one clip shows.

I like how they cooled down at the end and just gave up fighting. Maybe they got it out of their system.

I'm play beer-league hockey, and I regularly see such fights. After the initial emotional rush and tussle, 99% of guys want a way out, and the key for us team managers and refs is to provide both sides a face-saving way out.

Then there's the 1% of psychos who don't want to back-away....

Things might look dark in the writer’s career if they added that color.

The History Channel show that had the origins of Good Humor said people mistrusted buying anything edible from someone they didn’t know using the truck as the sales point.

The founder noted that all cars and trucks were black and that people associated that color with fear, the forbidden, the dangerous and especially the dirty or unhealthy. The show had pictures of hospitals and WWI treatment centers moving to all white surroundings, white uniforms and hats for nurses, white coats for doctors and other things to allow cleanliness to be apparent for good hygiene. A brand new trend in early 1900s.

So he made the shocking change to white trucks and white uniforms with white dress shirts and hats for the Good Humor drivers.
The sales took off after that.

It is shocking that such conduct should occur somewhere other than in a Walmart.

Someone must have said, “OK! Want a clean fight.”
