Video Of Passenger Being Dragged Off Delta Flight… Literally

Rene’s Points shares the crazy video footage a reader sent him of a lady being dragged off a Delta 737, which was scheduled to fly from Detroit to San Diego this morning:

Here’s what the reader had to say about the circumstances surrounding the incident:

She didn’t check in with gate agent and walked right on. [The] woman blew by gate agent and didn’t check in because she wasn’t an early boarder and deserved overhead bin space. Colleague in back by her said she was mouthy and had a huge attitude. Police tackled her out of her seat and brought her to the ground. Not sure how she was subdued, some people speculated a taser.

Oh my! It does indeed seem like she was tasered, given that she’s not kicking and screaming as she’s being dragged off the plane.

That’s quite a video…

Oh excellent I posted above comment in the wrong thread. Please forgive me. It's was for this article which is a completely different story. I'm sorry for not paying better attention.

Lucky, I have not read through all the comments so perhaps you have noticed this already, but this passenger did NOT violate United's contract of carriage rules. Once he has boarded and taken his seat, this situation changed. He deflected the FA's request so he could ask his lawyer's opinion. This was not a situation of failure to comply with FA's requests or directives. The FA's request in fact was in violation of the contract of carriage. Some lawyer is going to be handsomely rewarded for this mistake.

She doesn't look like she was tasered but she does look like she's setting up a lawsuit claiming injury. Reminds me of Freddie Gray ....

Very sad moment. She broke the law by boarding the plane that way. And yes, had to be removed. HOWEVER We don't know her and so, it is even more disturbing the uneducated commentary here in regards to her weight and social class. She could have a number of issues we don't know. I am not over weight and I am a Platinum with Delta, but we must be compassionate for the obesity epidemic in the USA has many stories. If you are not aware of the systematic low nutrition, high salt, fat and sugar diet fed to some people since their early years in elementary school. If you are not aware of thyroid issues. If you are not aware of what can happen to you if you are born in an abusive holdhold some where in rural America. Then, who are you snobs to pass judgment on her beyond the fact she boarded the plane unchecked ! Shame on you!

1. A sense of entitlement is not necessarily indicative of major mental issues. 2. Ever seen a dog or a toddler go limp so they're harder to move? It certainly appears to me that was being rude and attempting not to pay the consequences of her actions (because, more than bin space, she wanted to stay on the flight). When she refused to leave peacefully, were they supposed to say, "Oh, well, I guess you can fly, then?" That would work out about as well for them as the day my parents' dog escaped to the van and so they took her shopping and got her ice cream. Guess who continued the behavior for two years until I one day, yes, picked her up and hauled her back to where she belonged.
