Woman Who Reclined Her Seat on Plane Explains Why She Did It

A woman whose airplane sat was turned into a punching bag mid-flight is speaking out. It happened on a flight from New Orleans to Charlotte, North Carolina. Wendi Williams reclined her seat shortly after takeoff and moved it back to the upright position after the male passenger behind her asked her to do so while he ate. After he was done with his meal, she reclined her seat again. She said that's when he started pounding her seat with his fists. Williams caught the whole encounter on camera. #InsideEdition

Man: *taps woman’s seat*
Inside edition: “how hard was he hitting the seat?”
Woman: “hard, I almost flew..several times”

Children, don’t believe people get more mature with age. It’s all a lie.

If the airline don't want passengers to recline, don't install reclinable seats. Period. That guy was a jerk and so was the stewardess.

Woman: "He hit the seat hard"
Man: Lightly taps seat in frustration

[harpergrace]

My guess is he asked her not to recline her seat she did it anyway and he decided to annoy her back

Journalist: How hard was he hitting your seat?

Passenger: Have you ever heard of a boxer named Mike Tyson?

Stop reclining your seat on an airplane. He was at the back of the plane and had no where to go. She is at fault.

Ultimately, it's the airlines fault for packing us in like that, but the woman was in the right.

[tedmccauley]

The recline option should be taken out when the seat pitch is so narrow.

This is THE most stupid news story i have ever heard

[shiprecfishing]

I’ve sat in the last seat like that next to other big people next to me. seriously one of the worst flights of my life. I’ve promised myself to always pay a few bucks more for a better seat.

"I flew forwards several times." 😂🤣😂🤣😩😩😩😩

Personally, I don't think seats should be reclinable. Problem solved.

[roxyblaire]

I can seen valid points on both sides. The sad reality is that the seating space on planes is already pretty cramped and having someone laying in your lap makes it that much worse. Especially if you want to keep your drink or stuff on the little table or if you’re having people needing to get through when they have to use the restroom. And sitting straight up for a 4-6 hour flight or even longer for that manner is so uncomfortable. The airlines should be using some of that money they have to invest in creating more space.

Guy: lightly taps woman’s seat

Woman: he was punching it so hard that I flew forward

[thathockeykid]

I wanna hear his side before I make an opinion. Most biased and one-sided “news channel” there is

[smathew]

With space being so cramped, seats shouldn’t recline in economy

[cv]

He can’t recline in the back row. She should have exercised more consideration. I personally think these seat should not recline at all. It’s a nightmare.

”I FLEW forward”

Over exaggerating much?
