Another United Airlines "matter": Employee shoves elderly 71 year old to the floor.

This just sickens me. The guy was shoved by an employee to the ground, knocked unconscious, and then nobody from the airline helped him. A fellow traveler, a nurse, spotted him after about a minute and started giving him help, yelling at the United people to call 911.
When they did, they didn't tell the 911 operator what happened.
All caught on camera. The 911 call recorded.
He's suing United for over a $1 million. I'd bet that the jury offers him damages well in excess of that, but something tells me United will want to settle this out-of-court pretty quickly.

Honestly, the worst part of that video is that the fricking guy lay there on the floor of the terminal for nearly a minute and NO ONE went over to him!! I'm not just talking United workers...but NO ONE.
Even if you didn't see the shove, how do people turn around, see an old guy laying on the floor like that, and not immediately run over there to see if he needs help?

Because humanity in this day and age is almost non-existent.

This could have been handled better. Without audio, it looks like he cut in line, then attempted to bypass screening (which post 9-11 is a no-no). Leaving him on the ground was wrong by United or the homeland security.
The plaintiff's attorney said "This is the most inhuman thing I've ever seen!" Talk about hyperbole! I see more inhuman things daily in TD.

Where are these undercover agents that were suppose to be on flights post 911 ?

Only because I can't stand United.

The encounter began when Tigner received a boarding pass that was illegible. He made “numerous attempts” to ask for a reprinted pass, but United agents denied him one, according to the lawsuit.
He was told to continue on to the security checkpoint, where Transportation Security Administration authorities refused to let Tigner enter because of his poorly printed pass.
So Tigner went back to the United ticketing area and tried once more to get a new ticket, the lawsuit states. Two United employees, Alejandro Anastasia and Ianthe Phillips-Allred, allegedly refused to help Tigner, laughing and cursing at him, the lawsuit states.
Tigner’s attorney, William Hoke, told KPRC that when Tigner asked Anastasia for a new ticket, he replied with a smile, saying, “Can’t you see I’m busy?”
Tigner then told Anastasia to “wipe that smile off your face,” Hoke said, to which Anastasia responded with an obscenity.
Then, Anastasia “suddenly, unexpectedly and violently injured” Tigner, the lawsuit alleges.
Surveillance video shows the United employee checking his watch, turning toward Tigner and pushing him to the floor. Tigner remains there motionless on his back, his legs and arms spread out. Meanwhile, a couple of people who appear to be airline employees stand near Tigner.
But for about 50 seconds, no one appears to bend down to help Tigner, until a woman — identified by Tigner’s lawyer as a flight passenger and nurse — walks over to check on him.
A United employee later called 911, telling the operator, “There’s a 70 year old male that had fallen down,” according to a 911 call published by KPRC. When the operator asked the employee what caused the fall and if the man was awake, the caller said he did not know.

Anastasia what a queer name. If this was my kin he would be eating through a straw for the foreseeable future.
