A video of a man being dragged off a flight is viral on the internet. The man, who is a doctor looking forward to meeting patients at his destination, was aboard a United Airlines flight headed from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky. The thirty second clip shows the man screaming while being dragged off his seat.

The reason for this unruly behaviour it appears is that the flight was overbooked. The flight’s attendants first asked some passengers to get off by offering $800 compensation but nobody volunteered after which they started to randomly select passengers and forcibly remove them.
Audra, a passenger aboard the same flight shared her experience of the incident. She said that, “everyone was shocked and appalled” by the behaviour of United Airlines. The airlines still has to respond to the incident.
