FULL TITLE: PICTURED: The internal medicine specialist father-of-five who was beaten and dragged off an overbooked United flight as CEO pens 'tone deaf' email DEFENDING staff
The passenger who was dragged from an United Airlines flight is 69-year-old grandfather Dr David Dao.
Footage of the Vietnamese-American being hauled off the overbooked flight at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Sunday caused outrage on Monday.
Dr Dao was heard in videos captured of his shocking eviction saying he needed to get home to Louisville so he could see patients.
DailyMail.com can reveal Dr Dao is a father of five and a grandfather, who specializes in internal medicine. Four of his five children are doctors.
His wife Teresa, 69, is a pediatrican who trained at Ho Chi Minh University in Saigon and also practices in Elizabethtown, Kentucky - about 40 miles south of Louisville.

Suppose the police/security people had criminal background info on this passenger? Would you view their actions in a different light?
Rent-a-cops? That's a real stretch.
Just speculating, like everyone else.
*Airport police* is how they are referred; not TSA, US Marshals, or whatever. Maybe we’ll learn, eventually.
Dr. Dao certainly has a checkered past. Seems like a wack-a-doodle. If you *know* you have a *past*, then, if in your right mind, why would you put up such a fuss?
...then the murders began.
But of course! Everyone knows that wack-a-doodles have no rights in our society! Tazer 'em! Beat 'em up!
If you *know* you have a *past*, then, if in your right mind, why would you put up such a fuss?
That's the spirit! We need more sheeple! Obey or you'll get what's coming to you!

All that and a pack of peanuts.
Agree!
"That's no way to run an airline."

And he still has a medical license?
All of which happened 11 years ago. Has nothing to do with what happened Sunday night. From the sounds of it he has not repeated those violations. Plus according to you the charges were dismissed.
As for being in a casino, how many other doctors do you suppose go to Vegas for a weekend then go back to the office Monday morning? You think he’s the only one to have ever hit the tables?
This is just United trying to smear him in the eyes of the public to make themselves too better but it’s not working. United sucks as an airline has has for a long time we all know this. They have been giving sub standard service since the 90’s and it’s long past due that we as customers spoken out about it.
**Plus according to you the link I provided, the charges were dismissed.** Fixed it for you.

Your effort[s] seems to be wasted; anyone who flies, deserves what they get. Calm down and fly first class.
GEESH. Give it a rest. Have a slice.
If you read UA’s contract of carriage “oversold” is defined as when too many tickets are sold. Crew members are not paying ticket holders. The plane had the right number of paying passengers on board the plane. The plane was not overbooked (oversold is the proper term). The press is not exactly known for their enviable research skills these days. So they got it wrong because to them making a passenger give up his seat must mean the plane was overbooked.
Squirrel!
Nope. I would not. In fact it would alarm me even more because I would assume they were going out of their way to target a person who from all evidence had satisfied any court actions against him and had not gotten in trouble since. There was certainly nothing to suggest he would be a threat to the airline and its passengers. It would disturb me that without cause and without any legal authorization they had invaded the privacy of a passenger in order to make up for their own failure to provide transport to crew members in a timely manner.
UA screwed up badly on this one.
