314 Of The Funniest Reactions To United Airlines Violently Dragging A Man Off A Plane (Add Yours)
Thinking of taking a trip somewhere? Then you might not want to fly United Airlines. Not unless you want to get your ass kicked that is. Because as you might already be aware, the airline is currently weathering a storm of controversy after disturbing video footage emerged of them violently removing a man from an overbooked flight from Chicago to Louisville, US.
The video shows the man refusing to disembark the aircraft after United announced that four people had to give up their seats. Despite declaring that he was a doctor who had patients to attend to, the airline had law enforcement wrestle the man from his seat before dragging him bruised and bloodied off the plane. Since then, the internet has been ruthlessly trolling United Airlines with funny tweets and memes. Scroll down to see some of our favorites, and feel free to add to the list!

Meanwhile Over At United Costumer Service Desk
Martin Mcleish 8 years ago
I am very very disappointed at how i was treated on the phone today.......by United Airlines. After seeing a video clip on the news i phoned them up, and i was polite and courteous, and asked if i could please get a price on how much it would cost to get my brother in law beaten up and dragged screaming off a plane. I even tried to explain to them that he was an obnoxious drunk and it would be best to get him early . I received very poor service in my opinion, so i shall not deal with them any further

Mandatory Seat Volunteering
Seva Moskovko 8 years ago
Literally, the policy...you "volunteer" by either walking off or being dragged out and beaten so someone they deem more important like staff can have that seat. They were not overbooked because paying customers were in their seats. Just shows that you are truly second class when you pay for second class and anything can happen to you.

The service is great, because ME3 treats their stewardesses horribly. They are terrified! ME3 treats the girls like cattle, and punishes them for any complaint they receive, legitimate or not. I would rather roll the dice on getting beat up that ever show any support for any company that supports the racist and sexist regime of Qatar or any of the Emirates.

no amount of explanation can change our perception that indeed the poor customer was very manhandled, the airline should be meted with a serious penalty, perhaps closure, and the poor customer be paid for damages equivalent to his human dignity and self respect

I can't believe no one tried to help him out! Everyone simply used their phones and did nothing! This airline's staff seem to be commanded by a murderer or mad man. How mental do you have to be to kick a doctor out of the plane?! Someone might have died because of this!
Amanda Panda 8 years ago
welcome to 2017, the day when people passively stand by and hit record on their phones rather than intervene, or run for help. I've seen videos of people video taping others overdosing in stores on heroine and rather than use their phones to call 911, they are recording. its sickening.

I know this post is supposed to be humorous, but it's sad as a society we have to film everything and then take advantage of the situation. It's not funny what that man went thru. Yes, I know it's the airline being mocked, but your still plastering this man's pain too.
Stille20 8 years ago
So I think using his image for humor is rude, I think it is important that we live in an age where people record the injustices they see. I think without the videos, it would have been easy for United to spin the incident.
