This video has people all around the world SHOOK…including me. Y’all are familiar with some of the airlines overbooking passengers lately, right? Usually the company asks for a volunteer to give up their seat for a later flight or even hotel accommodations. However, today United Airlines threw its weight around literally by dragging a customer out of his seat after he refused to moved. Apparently there weren’t enough seats for some United Airline crew members. Onlookers could not believe what they were witnessing. The victim was bloodied by security who forcibly removed him from his chair. The man was screaming and hollering, so obviously he was traumatized.

Later on, it was confirmed that he was a doctor and he needed to make it home in time enough for work.

Here’s how NBC News explained the situation.

“This is an upsetting event to all of us here at United,” CEO Oscar Munoz said in a statement. “I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers. Our team is moving with a sense of urgency to work with authorities and conduct our own detailed review of what happened.”

“We are also reaching out to this passenger to talk directly to him and further address and resolve this situation,” he added in the statement.

The Chicago Department of Aviation said in a statement Monday afternoon that the incident was “not in accordance with” standard operating procedure and the officer’s actions were “not condoned” by the department. The officer involved was placed on administrative leave effective Monday pending review of the situation, the department said.

The Chicago Police Department said in a statement earlier Monday that around 6 p.m. on Sunday, a 69-year-old passenger “became irate” after he was asked to leave the plane.

“The passenger in question began yelling to voice his displeasure at which point Aviation Police were summoned,” police said in the statement.

Police claimed the officers were attempting to carry the man off the flight “when he fell.”

“His head subsequently struck an armrest causing injuries to his face,” police said, adding that the man was taken to a hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. An investigation into the incident was still ongoing.

Multiple attempts to reach the Department of Aviation for comment were not immediately returned.

Tyler Bridges, who posted video of the incident on Twitter, told NBC News he and his wife were on the United plane at O’Hare International Airport from Chicago to Louisville on Sunday when a flight attendant said the flight was overbooked and four people would have to leave to make room for airline employees.

Bridges said the flight attendant offered an $800 voucher for anyone who would volunteer to get off the flight and leave the following day at 3 p.m.

“Nobody moved, nobody got up,” he said.”

His “head subsequently struck an armrest causing injuries to his face??” ok.

Anywho. Let’s check out the video that has the whole world talking.

My question is this. Why did the staff of United Airlines decide to single “this” man out instead of the hundred other people on the flight. Did it have anything to do with him being an Asian?? The entire video just seem so “suspect” to me. I hope this doesn’t leave an emotional scar on our dear ol’ doctor. Something tells me he will be heavily compensated for his trouble. He deserves it.

And now you all are officially in the know!
