Fights, Smashed Computers, and Food Thrown in Riot at Shenzhen Airport Over Delayed Flights

Yeah, I'm sure that smashing equipment and throwing food really had those flights moving right along and motivated the airport personnel to want to help those poor people. I can just hear the violins.
What would they have done if it had snowed?
Several years ago in the Beijing old airport I witnessed a passenger literally reach across the podium and grab the airline employee by the neck and start slapping him repeatedly all because the agent told him he couldn't have his family sit together.
