A couple of days ago disturbing footage emerged of a passenger on board a United Airlines flight when he refused to give up his seat.
It's since transpired that a 'random' passenger was selected for moving to allow extra seats for increased on-board staff.
Until now, we've only seen the footage of Doctor David Hao - a 69-year-old Vietnamese-American who specialises in internal medicine - being dragged off the plane, kicking and screaming.
There has been a huge PR backlash against the airline who claim they 'fly the friendly skies'.

The company has since lost a shed load on the stock market, dropping 2.6% in share value on Tuesday morning alone.
Until now, we have largely assumed that he was just pulled from the flight, with no grounds for reasonable force. But in a new video, he appears to tell security staff that they will have to physically remove him.
In the video, he explains, firstly, why he shouldn't be the one who must give up his seat. Amidst some inaudible chatting he says: "I won't go. I'm a physician and have work tomorrow at eight o'clock.

"No, I'm not going," Dao adds..
After security imply, as he's been chosen at random, that he will have to be dragged off the plane. This is where it gets interesting...
"Well, you can drag me," Dao says. "I don't go. I'm not going. I'm staying right here."
Security then say that it can be a lot harder if he doesn't cooperate.
"Yeah, I'd rather go to jail," insists Dao.
The reply is questioned by airline staff.

Dao then explains that he already has had a lengthy flight from Los Angeles to get to O'Hare Airport in Chicago, and once again lays the point that he should go home on that flight.
The CEO of United Airlines has since apologised for what he called 'truly horrific' events, and that he 'continues to be disturbed' by what he saw.

One of the security members involved in the incident has since been suspended by the Chicago Department of Aviation.
