Broken nose and two front teeth, concussion as well. Please settle this IN COURT. Do NOT let United convince you to settle outside of court because settling it with the court will set a precedence and will help anyone else in future who may face the same situation.
United picked the wrong Asian man to mess with , I think United airlines think the Asian man does not speak English so they pick him out to give up seat
its not a crime but you do risk getting assaulted by the airline, thrown off when they overbook, do not approve of the clothes you wear, and who knows what else. seems ever other week they are in the news for kicking people off planes for stupid reasons. thats one hassle i do not need and will continue to fly with friendly airlines that don't bug me.
Just watched Ralph Nader video. It seems that this deplorable behavior was legal under the Contract of Carriage that regulates airlines. A passengers bill of rights has been stalled in Congress as the result of airlines lobbying. The airline is not protected in a common law court which could award substantial damages for the harm inflicted on the passenger.
Lovely young lady, her dad must be proud of her. She and her entire family must be in shock, and her poor father well, beyond belief. The CEO must, must go, he is the head of the snake he must go, RESIGN, NOW. I hope the family sue for multi millions, they all deserve it. Good luck to all of them.
The attorney is right on the money....He has presented a case for the Public to the corporate world that we be treated as human beings and not just a number.
I have taken united airlines to come to Asia and I have to say how disappointed I was when I boarded the plane. For one it was full, all seats were taken there were at least 350 passengers on this flight and there was hardly any room to keep my items under my seat. Then the plane was absolutely dirty! I could see food stuck in the rear of my seat and coffee spilled on the wall, food on the floor and not to mention the bathroom which looked worse then a public restroom. The flight attendants acted like they were the owners of the plane, skies and all the passengers. When they did their final check up thru the rows they had such a angry look on their faces, and walked around demanding people and treating passengers like we were slaves rather then actual human beings. I am so bumped that I have to go thru this experience again on my way back from Asia. By all means I will NEVER fly with this poor airline!
WITW??! People are losing their minds but I'm glad people use their phones to capture this mess. He and his family should have free flights the rest of their lives....paid by United Airlines! A United Airline Attendant overbooked the flight and they force this man out of his seat....when he paid for his flight?? This world is going to ruin!
He should have been compliant with airline rules. He would not get up and walk off the plane just so he could cause a scene. Also I doubt he had any patients to see since his license is suspended.
IHateLiberals the lawsuits with the drug dealing doctor and the airline, the doctor lost his license and just got it back in time to make a few million from United Airlines. who is clearly at fault and appears to be racist as well.
I stand with you. United Airlines has been removed from all of my travel plans, and will remain that way for many years to come... I've been a passenger on many United Airlines Domestic and Intentional flights over the years. I have been treated like crap many times (never as bad as your Dad), and watching this incident with your Dad was final straw. Never again United.
As much as we want United Airlines to get arrested for forcing him to give up his seat and causing violence, he told news “I forgive them for what they did to me, it’s what they had to do, it was there job, and if they didn’t do it, they would’ve been fired” Respect to that man. United Airlines, u better f*cking apologize to him and his family for the cause u made!
It's about time someone stood up to the abusive and punitive airlines. I couldn't watch the whole video shot inside the plane involving her father, it was so upsetting.
200 million right now to the doctor and settle it, United. You don't want this to drag on in court for years. Your customers will probably all leave by then.
Is this for real?? I just can't believe this is happening in 2017. I will NEVER EVER fly this disgusting company again. If we let this go, they will eventually do the same thing to all of us. This company should be abolished.
May God see all the tears I've cried because of what these people did to this man💔😭😭 I'll keep this particular airline in mind. God help me I hope I never have to fly on them.
The lawyer says "forget the law for a second" .. "will there be a lawsuit.. ya probably" that's code for .. "hey United, we'll take a fat settlement check"
Actually quite the opposite " Demetrio said someone emailed him that Dao refusing to give up his seat made him the “Asian version of Rosa Parks," but he added that he didn't think what happened to Dao was racially motivated and could have happened to anyone."
It was crazy. No wonder this United Airlines Overbooked T-Shirts will sell out soon! The price will be increased next month. Here's the T-Shirt link teespring.com/shop/united-airlines-overbooked?tsmac=recently_viewed&tsmic=recently_viewed#pid=2&cid=576&sid=front
Everybody make error, but above error is human. Forgive others so God can forgive you as we pray daily "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us". This is an opportunity to show gratitude to those Americans who risked life to rescue Vietnamese refugees to find new life in this land before. Maybe your family and friends were among them.
I made some comments about united airlines few days ago i have so many replies on those comments they were not to harm anyone they were just simple comment to punish the United Airlines and those officers who missed behaved anyway some of these so-called civilized Americans start calling me a names Cursing on me cursing on my faith now that shows how well educated and civilized you are shame on all those Who call themselves civilized I will pray for you may God put you on the right path
@AL Montoya if a lady sued mcdonalds when she accidentally spilled hot coffee on herself and received a $2.6M settlement. You better believe that he will be getting a pretty dime out of this case. Broken nose, broken teeth, Post traumatic stress, defamation from the media, public humiliation, discrimination. Just to name a few reasons to justify his case. Also, he probably won't have much privacy for awhile due to the whole world knowing his face and all the news outlets trying to get an interview from him and let's not forget that he was 69 years old. Imagine if your grandpa or your grandma was treated this way.
mofokyo It's not relevant! Two different types of companies. Different policies. Airlines has the right to deny any passengers, paid or not. The woman in your case is different. McDonald's coffee was too hot that caused severe burn. Most fast food restaurants has a temp policy to prevent such injury.
@Al Montoya My point is that people sue and win all the time for the stupidest reasons. His case actually has some validity which means that there is a favorable chance that he'll be receiving some sort of settlement from this.
mofokyo what would you do to a person that refuses to leave and tells the police he would rather be dragged off the plane and go to jail? They dragged him out with force because he resisted. The injuries was caused because he did not cooperate. It's sucks that it had to end that way. Just leave like the other 3 had and if you're still upset about and feel it's wrong, take the appropriate action. He acted like a child. I would not want someone like him to be my doctor.
@AL Montoya He had every right to resist. You should only comply if you know you are in the wrong. This man did nothing wrong and rightfully stood his ground because he understood that what they were asking him to do is unethical and just unfair. He didn't act like a child. He acted like a man that actually had some balls. Maybe you and the other 3 passengers should grow a pair?
Broken nose and two front teeth, concussion as well. Please settle this IN COURT. Do NOT let United convince you to settle outside of court because settling it with the court will set a precedence and will help anyone else in future who may face the same situation.
I hope that cost to United Airlines more than $50 million and press the criminal charges on those officers who were dragging him out of the plane
Nadeem Ulhaq I agree!
who do you think pays for a settlement, we the people the next time you book a flight.
I agree but also hope for more consequences! Would like to see those men behind bars and United Airlines bankrupt.
plus human rights!!
Nadeem Ulhaq united airlines should be killed finished allhu akbar
United picked the wrong Asian man to mess with , I think United airlines think the Asian man does not speak English so they pick him out to give up seat
Nikk Nguyen yes United thought Vietnamese easier to mess up 🙈👎🏼
Nikk Nguyen they thought he couldn’t speak English . Racist people
United hates asians
Did you know it is a crime to buy a United Airline Tickets..
Wait... isn't the a supposed to be an? But then the sentence wouldn't make sense. (also, ticket. Not tickets)
its not a crime but you do risk getting assaulted by the airline, thrown off when they overbook, do not approve of the clothes you wear, and who knows what else. seems ever other week they are in the news for kicking people off planes for stupid reasons. thats one hassle i do not need and will continue to fly with friendly airlines that don't bug me.
Cybernetic Jeff If you weren’t flying alone or had a 2 way trip it would be tickets and an is incorrect
bird718 It was a joke
United Airlines should be made an example of, clear and simple.
Yep, by being closed down.
@bacara18. whatever you say troll...
We need to establish a 30 day boycott of United Airlines. Send a very strong message to the corporate world.
Or shut it down
Just watched Ralph Nader video. It seems that this deplorable behavior was legal under the Contract of Carriage that regulates airlines. A passengers bill of rights has been stalled in Congress as the result of airlines lobbying.

MAKE it FOREVER Boycott!!!!!!
Lovely young lady, her dad must be proud of her. She and her entire family must be in shock, and her poor father well, beyond belief. The CEO must, must go, he is the head of the snake he must go, RESIGN, NOW. I hope the family sue for multi millions, they all deserve it. Good luck to all of them.
The CEO's response to the situation was disgusting.
Cathy Cathy her father is a convicted drug trafficking felon
whit1981 so what? He shouldn't have been treated the way he was. The situation is appealing and was handled poorly.
What sources do you have for that?
For what?
united Airline should close down their company. enough is enough.
COME AT ME BRUH preach
COME AT ME BRUH Carnival cruise line didn't get shut down and they've killed people
The family should sue and make 20 million dollars
Spencer poore "20 million "more like 200 million or more .
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was that high.
Spencer poore itll be way mkre than that.
Spencer poore I think they made 10 million

United will definitely loose lots of business especially from me.
me too. I stand with you Allie.
Go to Southwest Airlines they have good reputation.
WITW??! People are losing their minds but I'm glad people use their phones to capture this mess. He and his family should have free flights the rest of their lives....paid by United Airlines! A United Airline Attendant overbooked the flight and they force this man out of his seat....when he paid for his flight?? This world is going to ruin!
William Griffin That would be a great idea. However, I would hope not on a United Airlines plane.
Charlene Patton OH, definitely not. Just as long as it's paid by them then I'd definitely fly on another airline.
He should have been compliant with airline rules. He would not get up and walk off the plane just so he could cause a scene. Also I doubt he had any patients to see since his license is suspended.
ppl check out the entire reason for this......boohoo cry mafr
Please get all the facts before you judge
The worst thing is that he said that getting dragged of united was worst then leaving Vietnam when Saigon fell 😭
This is really horrifying, inhuman treatment.
Any human should not be dragged around like a dead carcass.
Dr. Dao hired a really smart lawyer.
what they did to your dad is a discrace god bless and keep you all safe
I admired you for being so calm! I will cuss the f*** out of them!
If this happened to my dad, I would want Thomas Demetrio in my corner. Fasten your seat belt, Mr. Muñoz, you're in for a turbulent ride.
IHateLiberals
the lawsuits with the drug dealing doctor and the airline, the doctor lost his license and just got it back in time to make a few million from United Airlines. who is clearly at fault and appears to be racist as well.
Bird718-That was a different doc with the same name I believe
I stand with you. United Airlines has been removed from all of my travel plans, and will remain that way for many years to come...

I have been treated like crap many times (never as bad as your Dad), and watching this incident with your Dad was final straw. Never again United.
As sick or insensitive as this may be I am just glad that someone not only filmed this but broadcasted it on social media .
At least a 100 million dollar lawsuit. Plus, the CEO must go, no doubts about that.
Let's all help united with their overbooking problem! #neverunited
HAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!
united we stand United they fall
As much as we want United Airlines to get arrested for forcing him to give up his seat and causing violence, he told news “I forgive them for what they did to me, it’s what they had to do, it was there job, and if they didn’t do it, they would’ve been fired” Respect to that man.
United Airlines, u better f*cking apologize to him and his family for the cause u made!
Oh my goodness. I empathize with family of Dr Dao. Very sad.
FYI, he got paid USD 140,000,000
Her dad had to get surgery from the mistakes of others. He suffered a concussion, broken teeth, a broken nose. United doesn't care whatsoever.
It's about time someone stood up to the abusive and punitive airlines. I couldn't watch the whole video shot inside the plane involving her father, it was so upsetting.
I'm done with united airlines! I'm so done!
Someone should give United Airlines a new motto.
Man I wish united would have done this to me.
200 million right now to the doctor and settle it, United. You don't want this to drag on in court for years. Your customers will probably all leave by then.
he deserves every penny he will receive from that lawsuit
can we just step back for a moment and appreciate the fact that her name is dr. pepper?
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotches of all United employees. Start at the top with double dose!!!
I think its dad that because the CEO stood by his employees who broke no law he is being vilified in the media. there is no justice im this world
Watched this on a Vietnamese News channel yesterday, but funny that 3:47 wasn't mentioned at all.
Fairness, respect, and dignity....and your firm's logo in the background or no press conference....rrrrrrrright
God Bless them.
Is this for real?? I just can't believe this is happening in 2017. I will NEVER EVER fly this disgusting company again. If we let this go, they will eventually do the same thing to all of us. This company should be abolished.
Never in my live l will fly United Airlines. Tom from Germany
May God see all the tears I've cried because of what these people did to this man💔😭😭 I'll keep this particular airline in mind. God help me I hope I never have to fly on them.
What happened?
The lawyer says "forget the law for a second" .. "will there be a lawsuit.. ya probably" that's code for .. "hey United, we'll take a fat settlement check"
also those security who actually dragged him
I would’ve sued for 10 million dollars.
He deserves whatever compensation for his mistreatment that he can get. Time to put United out of business! Am I going to fly United again? Never!
People should boycott the airline. He did nothing
I didn't know he had a concussion. That's awful
United: you get the seating you get the beating
From Doctor to Pilot: The new Airlines in town... Dao Airways "Where passengers won't get treated like the boss (David)" LOL !!!
Were here with you
Unacceptable! Never never fly with United Airlines!
why is she so sweaty? did united threaten her before hand?
His lawyer said he was like Rosa Parks. Ya ok
Actually quite the opposite " Demetrio said someone emailed him that Dao refusing to give up his seat made him the “Asian version of Rosa Parks," but he added that he didn't think what happened to Dao was racially motivated and could have happened to anyone."
I watched the entire press conference, I concur that Demetrio did in fact say that he did not think this was similar to Rosa Parks' situation.
Lawyer doing his job. Yeah it's a stretch, but he's getting the public to sympathize.
Expensive as racism is you would think intelligent ppl would tell there unintelligent
Friend to just stop it.
Shameful what big business has done to our country let alone it's paying customers!
It was crazy. No wonder this United Airlines Overbooked T-Shirts will sell out soon! The price will be increased next month.
Here's the T-Shirt link teespring.com/shop/united-airlines-overbooked?tsmac=recently_viewed&tsmic=recently_viewed#pid=2&cid=576&sid=front
Lecky Banua you should make a shirt that says ( I flew United and lived ) or something like that lol.
United airlines better call Saul pronto.
Mr M hahahahaha
Where is the "LIVE CHAT" on this???
If you want to be hauled off like garbage, then fly United. Not even a Pepsi would have resolved this. Not cool...
Dao and United already settled. I wonder how much he got.
My neck........ my back......
i hope The family sues enough to put United Airline out of Business!!!!!!!
OH ! Likey daughter .
Everybody make error, but above error is human. Forgive others so God can forgive you as we pray daily "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us".

that will probably end United Airlines...
Hit UA where it counts! Straight in the pocketbook!

even tho the pepsi is not there. dr. pepper is there.
T most important word CORPORATE AMERICA! this guy destroyed t airline with his speech! corporations treat everyone like peasants!!
I support the lawsuit and continual publicity on this.
Re-accommodate United Airline's executive officers and board members ! ! !
Why the subtitles?
did not realize he lost two front teeth too... rough... least he'll get huge money from this.
United you need to re-examine procedures when situations like thi occur
He is 69 years old WTF is wrong with America they don't respect their elders
America needs to regroup since September 11, 2001. We are not the same, Hostile and complacent. America is about being a free individual.
I will never fly United.
lawsuit.
United Airlines "Our needs come way before your needs". #BoycottUnitedAirlines
price of united tickets will be going up up up
What If
that what we called a fortune mistake. UA better learn this fortune lesson
This is why Turkish Airlines is better! But in all seriousness, this is something that should have never happened.
And we want what we pay for!
distration
she fine
She's dramatic
BOYCOTT "UNITED" AIRLINES!!!!!!!!
Lawer is just happy making $$$, make me sick, disgusting.
Everybody let's bet how many Millions United Airlines Pays out...... I say at least 20,000, 000..
if the guy did wat the authorities wanted he wouldn't be in the situation he is. Right people...
Chazman Chazman Authorities? They aren't police or anything like that..
It's sad how this ended but if he does go to court he will get nothing.
