A fresh video has emerged that contradicts United Airlines’ assertion of Dr. David Dao’s behavior during the infamous incident on flight 3411. The footage reveals a composed and respectful Dao moments before he was forcibly removed from the aircraft, sharply contrasting the airline’s narrative of him being “belligerent.”
In an internal email, United’s CEO, Tom Richards, stated that the crew had “no choice” but to remove Dao due to his unwillingness to leave his seat. He described the passenger as “disruptive and belligerent,” but if that characterization aligns with being calm and dignified, one might question the airline’s perspective.
The video, shared by fellow traveler Emma Taylor, showcases a patient Dao calmly explaining his situation. “I’m a doctor. I have to work tomorrow at 8 AM… No, I am not going,” he states firmly yet respectfully. Hardly the behavior of someone causing a scene.
During the exchange, Dao ultimately said, “Then go ahead and drag me out. I’m not moving.” Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened, leading to severe injuries including a broken nose and lost teeth. All for politely insisting on keeping the seat he had paid for.
Emma took to her social media to express her thoughts on the incident, noting that Dao was “no more agitated than any tired traveler after a long journey.” She emphasized that all he wanted was to return home, feeling it was unjust for him to relinquish his seat. “With every video that circulates, my heart aches for Dr. Dao and the broader community. We need change. America, we must do better,” she wrote.
Thanks to the efforts of fellow passengers capturing the truth of the events, there’s a clearer picture of what really transpired. This highlights the importance of accountability and could pave the way for justice.
