A doctor trying to return home to his patients was dragged by his hands from an overbooked United Airlines flight, according to social media, embroiling the carrier in its second public relations nightmare in less than a month. The airline was one of the top-trending topics on Twitter as users took to the website to express their anger over the forceful removal of the passenger from United Flight 3411, which was en route from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday. Video of the incident posted to Twitter account @Tyler_Bridges shows three security officers huddling over the seated passenger, who appears to be an older Asian man, before dragging him on the floor. Flight 3411 from Chicago to Louisville was overbooked. Three security officers approach a seated man, ask him to give up his spot. When he refuses, they haul him up by the arms and drag him out screaming (WION) × The airline said it asked for volunteers to leave because additional flight crew needed to get to Louisville. "This is an upsetting event to all of us here at United," Chief Executive Officer Oscar Munoz said in a statement. "I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers." Munoz said United was "moving with a sense of urgency" to work with the authorities and conduct its own review of the incident. In Bridges' video, a woman asks: "Can't they rent a car for the pilots and have them drive?" Two uniformed men then reach into the doctor's seat and yank him from his chair. The passenger screams as he is dragged on his back by his hands, glasses askew and shirt pulled up above his navel.
