Here is the proof. New Orleans is Dr. David Thanh Duc Dao https://t.co/KFpz7N2D8e and

Kentucky is Dr. David A. Dao . https://t.co/P98Pxw2cew

Dr. David A Dao from Kentucky is the one with a criminal record. The battered UAL passenger is Dr. David Thanh Duc Dao and he doesn’t have one.

Good article.

JetBlue is an excellent airline, btw.

Another video has surfaced.

Looks like the guy found his 15 minute moment.

- - - -

"'I'm staying... you'll have to drag me': Passenger who was bloodied and hauled from an overbooked United flight seen refusing to obey police orders in new video from the plane" ...

"Dr Dao (left), starts as a flight attendant and police officer (right) are stood in the aisle. ‘I won’t go. I’m a physician I have to work tomorrow, eight o’clock,' he is heard saying. The officer is then heard in the video again asking Dr Dao to leave. 'No I am not going,' he replies, shaking his head angrily."

"You'll have to drag me" He got his wish.

FYI this was also a Republic Airlines plane that runs their commuter flights. Is Republic owned by United?

Look up “I don’t care.”

This third-world scum behaved badly, immature child throwing a temper tantrum.

Please re-read my post on why he should have been ejected.

Cheers

In the new video goes with my post at 104.

Dao: I want a big payday so drag me off! This guy is not innocent that some want him to be.

"Dr Dao then tells the person he is talking to on the phone: 'I… I tell you… make a lawsuit against United Airlines.' "

Yep.

I would still like to hear from the Captain of this flight.

The Press seem to be covering up for the Captain.

I see you dropped the 'pervert criminal' characterization. Probably wise.

Yep, I'd have knocked on the Captain's cockpit door getting him front in center ordering the man off his plane. I wouldn't let him hide. His plane his responsibility.

I spoke of it yesterday how to handle this situation that would not have hit the nightly news.

He's not the innocent victim some make him out to be, and a lot of emotional feeeeeelzs going around.

I just read your idea. That is sage advice that the Security Officers would have been wise to follow. Regrettably, they did not. As a result, they could be in serious trouble with the Law.

In my opinion, he is a pervert and criminal.

That said, I understand they offered $1,000 to rebook

Fooled you!

"We sought volunteers and then followed our involuntary denial of boarding process (including offering up to $1,000 in compensation)," Munoz wrote.
They followed "the process" which included offering compensation "up to" $1000. not that they actually offered the sum. It's all about "the process"

“So how are the airlines losing money because of no shows?”

They’re losing money they might have gotten if they could scam two people into paying for the same seat.

“David Dao” is probably the “John Smith” of Thailand :D

I’m just waiting for them to inject us with a tranquilizer and stack us like cordwood in the cargo bay for the duration of the flight.

Might actually turn out to be more pleasant for the passenger.

Just listened to the press conference by the civil attorney the family has hired. A reporter asked a question about the doctor’s legal past and the attorney shut it down immediately. He did say that whatever happened in his client’s past was not relevant to this pending lawsuit. He said it can’t be brought up in a trial, if there is one.
Sounded to me like his client was Dr. A Dao.
