(Newser) – A fight provoked by smoking in an airplane bathroom forced a JetBlue flight from Boston en route to Florida to land in Raleigh, NC, yesterday, CNN reports. A man reportedly argued with his brother about smoking on the plane, and one punched the other in the face, according to witnesses. One of the men was arrested by authorities in Raleigh.
