This is ridiculously disturbing on so many levels…

Share your questions, experiences, and thoughts below.
Given the lackluster buy-on-board menu on UA, this does not come as a surprise...
What is it with ear biting? I mean its fairly rare but its more common than you would think. I have heard of stories of this throughout my life from school fights to adult situations like this. I seems as though Mr. Yurkovich sniffed a little in the bathroom.
On to something more relevant to the blog - is United back to seating in each seat? Today's UA718 is 737-900 which is 3x3 I assume United is holding the middle seat. I wonder if United will start allowing maskless travel with vaccine proof.
Because 'merica. Seriously, ban this fool from air travel for good. Make him walk.
For those who use meth, ketamine (a veterinary tranquilizer, called Special K on the streets) also is used. Snorted or injected.
I suspect he hasn't been charged with assault because the local authorities don't have jurisdiction. They found the drugs on a plane in their city so they can arrest/charge with that but the FBI and DOJ may have to prosecute the assault.
Typical representation of American society...becoming more evident day by day...
Man, what next ? This makes the guy who sh*t on the United food cart years ago look like an angel.
He was probably on Catamine. Biting is a known side effect of Cat Scratch Fever.
Bad enough the New Jersey folks coming down to Florida spreading COVID, but now we have to worry about them biting and spreading rabies, too.
I didn't know that Mike Tyson is a UA frequent flyer!:)
Do ears taste like chicken?
My thanks to the folks who posted above. Reading your posts was the hightlight of my day!
This is what happens when you don’t bring back full meal service and passengers start to get a little hungry
@jon - Gerard Finneran died of Alzheimer’s in 2004, nine years after UA976. His Alzheimer’s likely contributed to his behavior, as early onset dementia usually starts ~10 years before symptoms appear.
I give Mr. Finneran the benefit of the doubt on this incident.
As COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed gun-games (Atlanta) and hunger games (this) will be on full exhibit. Because 'Murica never ceases to surprise..
United Airlines' spin response: "Hey....at least we made a passenger lose weight!"
Wait...a shot of Benadryl to the butt??? Who knew that you could inject Benadryl, and why did a physician have it and a syringe with them? Weirdest part of the story, imo.
@TwoScoops: Benadryl can be administered through a intramuscular injection, if the more usual oral way is impracticable. However, it’s generally used in case of allergic reaction, possibly motion sickness - therefore, it be on stock in the onboard pharmacy. I agree, the use in this case is rather weird.
@CRAIG
United never really blocked middle seats. They’ve been selling flights to full capacity since last summer, and no US airline has any plans to let vaccinated people travel without masks. It’s going to be an everyone or no one change when the mask rules are lifted.
To see how the shadows move in the cover of darkness, we have to create an illusion of lax laws, so we may catch them.
This is one of a few strings. Google Viracopos airport for more news.
