It's hard to overreact to a physical confrontation on a plane - you do

not, but it's not an overreaction.

I've traveled frequently by air for around 40 years, I have never seen
any violence on a plane. It must be very rare.

I've travelled frequently by air for around xx years and several times
(maybe 5 or 6) I have seen situations that get very close to violence, it is
either a good FA who calms the situation down, or more normally a bad FA who
provokes it in the first place and the passenger has enough common sense
left to stand down, despite being right.
