大意就是UA聯合航空超賣機位
在登機門地勤有問說誰願意放棄搭這班飛機拿補償
結果沒人願意
UA的地勤等大家都登機以後
上飛機根據系統隨便抓四個人下飛機
影片裡面被保全拖走的那個人還被保全弄到嘴角流血
他就是四個人裡面的其中一位
是醫生而且趕著去看他的病人
之後醫生說要找他的律師來
這真是太誇張了

A video posted to Facebook Sunday evening showed what is becoming another
public relations nightmare for United Airlines, which is owned by United
Continental Holdings.
One unnamed passenger boarded a United flight at Chicago's O'Hare
International Airport, headed to Louisville, not knowing he was about to be
forced to leave a plane that was overbooked.
A nearly 30-second video clip, posted on social media by a fellow passenger,
shows three security officers approaching a man who was already seated,
asking him to give up his spot on the plane. After the man refuses, he was
eventually dragged by his arms and screaming toward the front of the plane.
A witness to the debacle said passengers were warned at the gate that the
flight was overbooked, and United was asking for volunteers to switch
flights, with reimbursements included. Nobody spoke up.
According to Audra Bridges, who posted the video to her Facebook page Sunday
evening, United management came on board the flight and used a computer to
randomly select four passengers who would be removed from that trip.
The man in the video — one of those four randomly selected — reportedly
claimed he was a doctor and needed to see his patients at the hospital in the
morning, then proceeded to say he would call his lawyers.
After being forcibly ejected by three security officers, the man was able to
get back on the plane, though his face was bloody, and he seemed disoriented,
Bridges said. United offered no update to the flight's other passengers, who
waited for more than two hours for things to calm down before taking off, she
added.
United later issued a statement, saying: "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. Further details on
the removed customer should be directed to authorities."
As it often does, Twitter erupted following the posting of this video, with
many individuals voicing their concern over the way the man was treated by
United employees.
