A new video has surfaced showing another angle of a shocking mid-air brawl that forced a Frontier Airlines flight to make an emergency landing last week.
The footage shows flight attendants attempting to restrain two female passengers as they spread obscenity and attempt to lash out at other travelers on Flight 2143 on July 11.
The flight from Philadelphia to Las Vegas was diverted to Denver, where “two passengers traveling together” were taken off the flight and handed over to police, the airline told DailyMail.com.
While it’s unclear what sparked the brawl, a witness believed it could have started when one of the women spilled a drink on another passenger, according to TMZwho published the new images.
The video shows the two female instigators, one wearing a red top and the other dressed in dark gray, as they climb onto seats and unleash a torrent of expletives at other passengers before directing their anger at flight attendants who attempt to intervene.

Frustrated travelers begged the women to “shut up” and “get some class,” which only fueled their mania and led to one even punching a man on the head as she walked down the aisle.
The shocking video showed passengers loudly expressing their anger at the women after they erupted mid-flight.
The video doesn’t show what started the fracas, with the footage opening on one of the belligerents in a red tank top screaming at the top of her lungs as other passengers loudly gag and berate her.
8NewsNow reported that the woman in red had initially fought with another woman she was close to, and that woman was then moved to another part of the plane in a failed attempt to calm the drama.
As she became more unhinged, the woman in red was seen cursing down the aisle of the plane while waving her arms manically.
Another woman, whom she appeared to be with, became embroiled in the situation, leading the two to berate each other.
Flight attendants walked down the aisle several times to calm them down, with a flyer behind the footage saying the flight attendants had been “several times.”
“Just make sure we can get home,” the passenger added, echoing the sentiments held by many on board.

At one point, the woman in red aggressively confronted one of the servants and yelled in her face while still waving her arms.
The mindless situation escalated when she saw the moment being recorded, babbling incoherently down the aisle to the passenger behind the camera.
Another passenger was later seen physically holding her with his arms, while the other woman hurled insults back onto the plane.
The deranged incident was caught on camera by a Las Vegas resident returning from vacation, who said the flight got out of hand because of the antics.
“It was quite disruptive, so passengers started telling them to shut up because their behavior was escalating,” the woman, who chose to remain nameless, told KLAS.
She claimed the women, who appeared to be flying together, were told three times by the flight attendants to be quiet before finally moving one of them to another seat.
However, after they separated, the passenger said the women did not stop and continued to verbally abuse each other from across the plane.
They added that it appeared that a male passenger was hit in the head when one of the enemies went to the bathroom, but this incident was not caught on film.
The footage ended with the women being dragged off the plane, where tensions on board were apparent as the woman in red tried to taunt the other woman as she was led away.
After she said ‘get them out of here’, the packed plane immediately erupted, told her to ‘shut up’ and shushed her loudly.
The Frontier Airlines flight was forced to swerve due to the scuffle, but landed just an hour after it was meant to be in Las Vegas.
According to the person who filmed the incident, several other fliers also briefly exited the plane to give witness statements to local law enforcement, who planned to share them with the FBI.
Frontier told DailyMail.com that the two passengers who were taken off the flight were met by Denver Police Department officers at the gate.
Denver police say they have not made any arrests in this case. Airborne incidents generally fall under federal jurisdiction.
The FBI said their agents have not personally commented on the incident, but the US Attorney’s Office for Colorado will file charges if there is evidence.
A spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office for Colorado did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment Friday.
