Well Damn: Doctor Dragged Off Over-Booked United Flight When Nobody Volunteered To Give Up Their Seat!

A man who refused to surrender his seat on an overbooked United Airlines flight on Sunday was dragged off the plane by security. Four passengers on a flight scheduled from Chicago to Louisville were asked to take a flight the following day so United employees could take the seats in order to arrive in Kentucky in time for their next flights.

United offered passengers $400 and a free night in a hotel to take a flight at 3 p.m. Monday. When no one said yes, the airline doubled the offer to $800. Again, no one accepted the deal. Then, United said a computer would randomly choose which passengers had to depart the already-boarded flight.

Two gave up their seats willingly, but another passenger, a man who said he was a doctor, would not give up his seat when asked to leave the flight. The video shows him being approached by security, tossed against a metal armrest and then pulled from his seat and and dragged down the aisle as he screamed and other passengers looked on in horror.
