#AboutLastNight: 20 Hilarious Tweets Dragging United Airlines Through the Mud
And we really thought Pepsi had the biggest fail of the year…
A viral video recently surfaced on the Internet of a Chicago Aviation Department police officer removing a man – by force – from his United Airlines seat and dragging him down the aisle. The man was forcefully taken out of his from Flight 3411 (headed to Louisville) at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Sunday.
United said the incident came after the flight to Louisville was overbooked and airline officials asked for volunteers to get off the plane.
“After they dragged him off, I mean he was bleeding,” said Anspach, the passenger who filmed the occurrence. “He hit his face when they initially dragged him off.”
The Chicago Aviation Department police officer, who is seen dragging the passenger in the above video, is now on leave.
As expected, the Internet was in an uproar after the video surfaced; even some of the competitive airline companies joined in on bashing United.
These are some of the best tweets responding to the United Airlines mishap.
