Passengers clap as family is removed from flight

I know flying and travel brings out the worst in us, but this seems a bit much.
I grew up w/ a bunch of allergies, one of which a life threatening food allergy, that I've fortunately outgrown, and it sounds like the family tried to manage this as well as possible. I tend to remember my family being mostly like this one -- you can't control the world and sometimes you'll have a reaction at a terrible time.
But to clap as the family left just seems awful, and then to read the father's tragic backstory makes it even worse.

Good for them.

I enjoy airports for some odd reason; however, you really see some people turn horrible in that setting.

Torn on this one.
Really have a hard time with the accommodations for allergies (bringing a peanut butter sandwich to school these days is a fricking hanging offense); however, I also think the whole bringing animals on a flight is stupid as shite.
Sucks for the kid and his family and the passengers are a silver tube full of dicks. Karma would have had that flight auger into the ground 50 miles from the airport.

I put the blame squarely on the parents. Their failure to take into account the child's limitations caused all of this.

Perhaps people were applauding because the child was going to receive medical assistance.

How do you know why they clapped? Maybe it's like when an athlete is injured during the game and everyone claps as they're taken off the field. It could have been a "good luck" or sympathetic clapping.

The people who applauded are terrible human beings but if you are that allergic to dogs wouldn't you have had a plan for this before hand? 
We fly regularly with our dog albeit not internationally.

This kid learned a valuable lesson at a young age. Most people, including the vast majority of Americans, are self-centered selfish assholes. It will help him later in life.

The mom probably wiped too much vagina on him

I feel like it may have been a "we can finally take off" clap. Who knows how long the flight was delayed with sitting there discussing options on what to do and, if the passengers were in the back of the plane, they could have just assumed some other drama was unfolding.
On the flip side, clapping on an airplane, unless the pilot just saved your life, is dumb.

As a general rule, if the drive is 12 hours or less I drive to avoid airports, airlines, and random people in general. I'm considering bumping that up a bit to 15 hours.

Screw the morons who bring animals on planes. Leave your damned dog or cat at home or in a kennel where they belong. I had three dogs and never considered bringing them everywhere with me. The service pet crap is a bunch of bullshite.

Allegiant Airlines - all you need to know regarding a large number of the passengers.

So what did the really family do to draw the ire of the passengers? Not even close to the whole story I bet.
