Number 5: passenger dragged off flight and SEVERELY injured. A man was dragged out of a United Airlines plane and INJURED after he refused to give up his seat on an overbooked flight. In two thousand and seventeen, United Airlines flight 3411 had to make room for 4 employees who needed to make it to Louisville, THE FLIGHT’S DESTINATION. The airline offered travel vouchers and a free hotel room AND SEAT on a later flight to anyone who would volunteer to de-board, but there were NO takers. Therefore, cabin crew had to randomly choose 4; one of them was Dr. David DAO, who was already in his seat. However, Dr. DAO refused to leave the flight, as he had to see patients at his clinic the next morning. When the airline’s staff INSISTED Dr. DAO leave, he refused, and tried calling United Airline customer service, but was soon approached by 3 Chicago Department of Aviation... Security Officers. Dr. DAO was physically removed from his seat and dragged off the plane. During the altercation, his head was SMASHED against the armrest and he started screaming. Some of the other passengers took pictures and videos of the incident, with their phones. Dr. DAO was caught on camera bleeding, and was left with a broken nose, a concussion, and two of his FRONT TEETH were knocked out. Ultimately, Dr. DAO sued United Airlines and was awarded an UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF MONEY!
