Then change the law. But until then, show me where UA broke any law.

Apparently, you haven't done your research into the United Airlines Policy.

Fury in Vietnam over United passenger dragged from plane

HANOI (Reuters) - Outrage spread to Vietnam on Wednesday over United Airlines' handling of a passenger dragged from his seat after it emerged that the 69-year-old U.S. doctor was Vietnamese by birth.

Although United Airlines has no direct flights to Vietnam, there were widespread calls on social media for a boycott after video showed a bloodied David Dao being yanked out of the plane by airport security on Sunday to make way for United employees.

The ire in Vietnam grew quickly after it was reported that Dao's origins were not in the Southeast Asian country's old enemy, China, as many had at first assumed.

Vietnamese also fumed at allegations over Dao's past reported in the United States as irrelevant and possibly racist.


"Watching this makes my blood boil, I'll never fly United Airlines," commented Anh Trang Khuya on Facebook, the most widely used social media platform in Vietnam.

Nguyen Khac Huy wrote: "Boycott United!!! This is excessive! Let's be loving and united, Vietnamese people!"

There was no immediate comment from the government or in state media.

Video showing Dao being pulled from United Airlines Flight 3411 at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Sunday went viral and the worldwide backlash hit the airline's share price and prompted an apology from the company chief executive.

Kentucky's medical board website shows that a doctor David Dao graduated in 1974 in Ho Chi Minh City - then known as Saigon and the capital of U.S.-backed South Vietnam before its defeat and the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule a year later.

Around that time, Dao left for the United States, according to U.S. media and Vietnamese websites.

Vietnamese media said that Dao was also a songwriter and crooner of soulful ballads - including one about the memory of rain falling in Saigon.

Reports in U.S. media of an offence that had led to Dao losing his medical licence in 2003 were dismissed in Vietnam as a probable smear campaign.

"Dr. Dao didn't do anything wrong on that flight and that's the main thing," wrote Clarence Dung Taylor in a post that had more than 4,000 likes.

The attitude to the case shifted dramatically in Vietnam once it was reported that Dao was not from China - an ancient enemy with which Vietnam continues to have a maritime dispute over the South China Sea.

When initial reports had suggested the man being dragged from the plane was Chinese, some Vietnamese had posted strongly unsympathetic comments about him.

"So funny," wrote Bui Nguyen Trong Nghia. "Now they know he's Vietnamese, most people stand up to advocate. Whether it's Vietnamese or Chinese, there'll be discrimination as we're Asian."

Look which country is now going ape sh!t

Am going to ask again: Show me where UA broke any law.

Not 'may' have. But actually have.

Are you a judge presiding over this case? No need to show you the evidence of UA in the wrong to determined the outcome of this case, neither you a judge or he a lawyer in the case in the discussion.

Then take your own advice and say nothing about this.

They all probably laugh at this incident when it first reported without knowing the truth identity of the person and assumed he was Chinese that should deserved this kind of treatment.

 

[phancong]

Then take your own advice and say nothing about this.

You ask him provide you the evidence to make judgement on this case. I don't make any legal judgement on this case. All I said excessive used of force that cause body injury will get full compensation by the court. I never pretended to be a legal expert that can predict the outcome of this case.

"when an angry female passenger created a ruckus on board, forcing the plane off the runway and back to its gate."
Again, your judgement is way off. That is nothing similar to what is happening to Dr. Dao. Big difference here ok? You really need to read the UA Carriage Policy. It will enlighten you. Dr. Dao did not violate any of UA Carriage policy. If you read it.

I pointed out to you where you need to go look for your answer. UA Carriage Policy. Do your own reading and you will understand. You just like to argue, right or wrong. It doesn't hurt to accept the fact that you can be wrong.

Laura Ingraham also starts the character assassination against that Viet doctor, and also labelled him as "Chinese".

you are too excited tiger. in the past calling someone Chinese may be considered bad, but today everyone wants to be Chinese. because China is rich and powerful, a country with milk and honey in abundance.

 

[qwerrty]

the guy or girl who recorded the incident is now a hero or getting a lot of attention.

the doctor should give 10% of his big money jackpot to that person

He's still a human. Apparently, something Gambit doesn't understand. There's such a thing as Human rights and freedom. Something United Airlines has been lacking.

 

[ValerioAurelius]

Dont know what this has to do with China. Happens with every airline.

United should have raised the price of compensation. This is a PR disaster.

how much he won ?
