Woman Who Reclined Her Seat on American Airlines Flight 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.
