LOL this is wild
United Airlines Violently Drags Doctor Off Plane For the Most RIDICULOUS Reason
Distributing video recorded by other passengers shows a doctor being pulled from his seat by several airport police officers simply because the flight was overbooked.
United Airlines told WHAS11 that the flight was overbooked, so the airline asked for volunteers to leave the aircraft.
According to Jayse Anspach, a witness who recorded the exchange, the doctor said he had to get home and refused to voluntarily give up his seat to the United personnel that the airline was trying to seat.
The doctor was then told that the police would be called if he didn't leave.
@WHAS11 #United overbooked and wanted 4 of us to volunteer to give up our seats for personnel that needed to be at work the next day.

@WHAS11 No one volunteered, so @United decided to choose for us. They chose an Asian doctor and his wife.

@WHAS11 The doctor needed to work at the hospital the next day, so he refused to "volunteer." @United decided to use force on doctor.

They go on to describe what happened once the police arrived.
@WHAS11 A couple air port security men forcefully pulled the doctor out of his chair and to the floor of the aisle.

@WHAS11 In so doing, the doctor's face was slammed against an arm rest, causing serious bleeding from his mouth.

@WHAS11 It looked like he was knocked out, because he went limp and quiet and they dragged him out of the plane like a rag doll.

It’s unknown at this time if there’s more to the story, but for their part, United Airlines said in a statement:
“Flight 3411 from Chicago to Louisville was overbooked.”
“After our team looked for volunteers, one customer refused to leave the aircraft voluntarily and law enforcement was asked to come to the gate.”
“We apologize for the overbook situation.”
United Airlines vs Doctor and Wife
Not enough seating? Prepare for a beating!
LOL
lots of people jumping in on this

Saw the video. That was pretty crazy.
Remember when air travel used to be fun? I hate flying now.

There's some absolute comedy gold out there right now, but seriously, these people need to go to jail
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

:We're sorry we had to reaccomodate those passengers"
OMG LOLOL. A yet another chicken shit mealy-mouthed nuspeak weasel word to cover up grotesquely ugly behavior comes into the lexicon.
In such times as ours one never has to wait long for the next one to come along.

el rey del mambo
That Asian doctor is getting paid.
They boarded and seated him for a ticket he bought, and then beat the shit out of him and hauled him off by force.
He was boarded and his luggage was boarded. UA is fucked.
Word on the street is United Airlines stock is going to get bought up by big money after this price dip. Who knows?
I never fly unless I absolutely have to anymore. I used to love flying more than anything else. Fuck this planet.

I flew United Airlines once...Once!
I'll see if I saved the copypasta somewhere. It was quite an experience.

I found it! My first trip back to Canada after moving to Hong Kong. It was quite an experience:
I've written it out tons of times. I really should keep a copy somewhere.
Ah well, here goes:
We arrived on a flight from Tokyo and Homeland Security had just started with fingerprinting everyone, which didn't work very well, so it took us quite a long time to get through the first checkpoint.
There were quite a few Japanese people that weren't very good at English, hoo boy did they get screamed at! One older couple was trying to figure out what line to get into, so a couple security dudes ran up to them yelling and screaming 'You think you're an American!? You get over in that line!'
There were 4 schoolgirls that were confused too, so 3 huge dudes surrounded them screaming and yelliing. 2 of the dudes moved their hands to their firearms while doing so. Waiting in that line, I could really understand why people hate Americans so much. That was disgusting.
But we're just getting started.
After finally clearing the first checkpoint, we had to collect our luggage and bring it to some room, unlock it and put it on a carousel. One of our bags couldn't be re-locked without a key. I asked the lady about it in the room and she screamed at me 'Can you read the sign, huh, can you read the sign!?' As patiently as I could, I explained to her that I had indeed read the sign and wanted to know how we could lock up our case.
Instead of answering me, she pulled out her telephone and called a buddy to chit chat. When I said 'excuse me' she just pointed at the sign and turned around. I asked the wife if anything in the bag was important and there was just another empty bag inside, so I said quite loudly, 'Well then screw it, don't unlock it for these assholes.'
The bitch with the phone told me that if we didn't unlock it they'd break the lock. I flung the bag from across the room onto the carousel and told her to have a party with that.
Then we had another checkpoint. At this checkpoint they let me and my wife go through, but then decided my little girl (I think she was 4 at the time) was a terrorist threat. She had to remove her shoes and then some guy, yes a guy, started patting her down quite thoroughly while mean mugging me, and I was already on the other side of the scanner.
I screamed pretty loudly 'Hey buddy, think you need to strip search my daughter!?' A lot of heads turned and he let her go through.
At our final checkpoint, I presented our passports to the bitch and her first question was 'Why did you leave the western hemisphere sir!?' in an accusing tone.
I was pretty much fed up with these fuckheads and said 'Pardon me?' She figured she was onto something and said to me very smugly "My question was why in the world would you leave the western hemisphere sir!?"
I said wow a couple of times, turned to my wife and said I can't talk to these people anymore, could she please finish up.
My wife very slowly and very carefully explained that the Canadian passports the lady was holding belonged to me, her, and my daughter. She went on to explain that we live in Hong Kong now. She then explained that we did not mean to come to the USA. She booked our tickets to visit our families in Canada with a travel agent and the agent said it would be cheaper to go this way. She said she was very sorry for stopping in the USA, it was an accident, and she promised it would never happen again.
The lady sheepishly stamped our passports and let us through.
The funny thing was, any of these tough security guys started mean-mugging you, if you looked directly at them and said 'Yes, can I help you?', which I did a few times, they'd look at their feet.
Schoolyard bullying and intimidation. It was beyond ridiculous and I have no idea how Americans put up with being treated that way. It's disgusting.
