大意就是UA联合航空超卖机位
在登机门地勤有问说谁愿意放弃搭这班飞机拿补偿
结果没人愿意
UA的地勤等大家都登机以后
上飞机根据系统随便抓四个人下飞机
影片里面被保全拖走的那个人还被保全弄到嘴角流血
他就是四个人里面的其中一位
是医生而且赶着去看他的病人
之后医生说要找他的律师来
这真是太夸张了

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.
