In reply to the discussion: Story about 69 year old Dr. David Dao; the man United dragged off the plane [View all]randome
(34,845 posts)I only addressed his bonafides since DU was breathlessly proclaiming that not only was he an important man but he no doubt had many desperate patients waiting for his return!
I don't see any 'corporate spin' coming out of the likes of the DailyMail and whatever news source they referenced, I forget the name, somethingCourier? United did not -apparently- have anything to do with publishing details of this man's life.
I don't know how well an airline can plan for weather conditions at all of its hubs in the country. Apparently things had turned so bad that the 4 employees were urgently needed elsewhere. But they should have had another way of getting them there. It was pointed out that if they were pilots, renting a car would not do the trick since there are strict rules in place about # of hours a pilot must sleep before taking command.
Regardless, if there is blame to be apportioned to the actors involved, it seems like the police (or security guards) are the ones to bear the brunt of it, and even then it appears from the video that the injury was an accident.
United did not -so far as we know- direct a guard to injure anyone.
