Bloodied Doctor Says 'Just Kill Me' After Getting Brutally Dragged Off Overbooked United Airlines Flight
Fellow passengers recorded the man, visibly shaken and confused.
On Sunday, a customer was forcibly removed from an overbooked United Airlines flight from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky. Passengers were told four people were needed to volunteer to give up their seats to accommodate traveling crew members.
When no one volunteered, the airline contacted security to come and remove passengers. When a doctor and his wife was selected, he informed the crew that he needed to get to his patients and could not give up his seat.
He was then dragged off the plane in an extremely aggressive manner.
