G-d bless Dr. Dao. That could have been any one of us on that plane. Hopefully airlines will start treating paying customers with more respect.

No it couldn't have been. Under the circumstances, had they told me that I was randomly selected from the passengers and that they would like me to leave, I would have done so with decorum.

I would not make a fool of myself in front of the other passengers, and I would certainly not actively resist the security officers (I wouldn't let it get to the point where they had to call security) sent to remove me from the plane.

Dao was fine until they brutally slammed his head into the armrest.

So you would have gotten off under any circumstances?
Remember the next available flight wasn’t until the next afternoon.

1. You’re flying to try to get to your father’s bedside before he dies.

2. You’re flying to get to your mother’s funeral.

3. You’re flying to get to your daughter’s wedding.

4. You’re a doctor and have to see patients the next morning.

Well, good on you!
