A passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 3411 said that one of the three officers who dragged a Kentucky doctor off the plane was “laughing” during the chaotic episode.
In a “Letter to the Editor” published in the Chicago Tribune this week, Louisville, Kentucky, resident Jason Powell wrote how he was a witness to the Sunday incident that involved David Dao, 69, being physically dragged off a full flight before takeoff at O’Hare Airport.
“The disgusting mishandling of the situation included everyone from the rude ticket agent who demanded that this man give up his seat on the flight … to one of the officers laughing in the midst of the incident, to the violent, abusive way the passenger was dragged off the plane by the officer,” Powell wrote.

I don’t believe he was knocked unconscious either.
He looks like he is pretending as they drag him off.
The behaviors of these officers and the ticket agent reflect the growth and influence of progressivism, otherwise known as nihilism.
Nihilism asserts there is no objective moral law and no objective meaning in life. As a result, human life has no value and individuals are expendable. The destiny of this philosophy leads to the gas chambers of Auschwitz.
Nihilism is progressivism, which has become the liberalism of the democrat party.
You’re correct. He wasn’t unconscious.
It was a concussion that he suffered, probably when he broke off his two front teeth.
No indication or video where he was unconscious.
Personally, United and its support staff and security sounds like they needs a good enema.. they are victims of their own device .. and now, likely demise. Good riddance.
I doubt the security forces were laughing. No video proof of it, but for hear say.
Well, the doctor kind of dared them to do anything. He said “NO! I am not leaving. You will have to drag me out!”
So that’s what they did. It may have been amusing hearing that first overreaction from the doctor. I thought I was hearing a wild animal braying.
This was before he stood up and hit his head on the luggage compartment. Before he was extracted from his seat. They handled it poorly, but the doctor seemed to have forgotten it aircraft belongs to United. They do have some leeway about what happens.
One good outcome is that from now on, United will not force any already seated passengers to deplane in the event their air crew needs some seats.
The doctors that examined him diagnosed a severe concussion and kept him hospitalized for days.
Any other people you want to diagnose that you never met or examined?
But, he wasn’t cooperative. That means the cop has free reign to beat the crap out of him, right? That’s usually the line we get after national police brutality stories go viral.
The TSA has infected the entire industry. I loathe flying but I have to do it for my work. The industry world wide sucks.
In the United States these days every badge comes with a pair of jack boots.
He broke off his own two front teeth? How did he do that?
post#8 says Dao stood up and hit his head on overhead compartment.
Maybe he concussed himself? United not responsible for that.
I know I’ve hit my head on it too forgetting how low some can be.
lee martel, why don’t you just go away! We know you’re a cop sympathizer here and it’s shameful that you keep prattling along. I just hope that some time in your miserable life, a bunch of cops kick the living $hit out of you just for the fun of it!
I know someone who was “diagnosed” with a concussion who was committing insurance fraud... That does not make it 100% fact.
I am only saying what I observed- not what the doctors said. This guy has scammer written all over him.
“But, he wasn’t cooperative. That means the cop has free reign to beat the crap out of him, right? That’s usually the line we get after national police brutality stories go viral.”
Perfect! All this BS about “supporting our cops” should come with the caveat that they are “deserving of our support!” Unfortunately today, far too many cops think a badge and a gun gives them the unfettered ability to illegally abuse citizens under color of authority and subsequently get away with it. The bad news for them is that cameras are everywhere now. Just think about how this $hit on UAL would have been covered up if it weren’t for cell phone cameras. So at the end of the day, we need to support good, honest cops but put the one’s like these guys on UAL in jail with mandatory minimum sentences. Then maybe the abuse will stop.
WELL SOMEONE SAID SO ON FR!!! SO IT MUST BE TRUE!
Dao did stand up and hit his own head- I believe he was a slip and fall actor
