Video of a paying United Airlines passenger being dragged off a plane by force is spreading around the world.

Some 130 million people have watched it on just one Chinese platform.

The passenger, reported to be a 69-year-old Asian doctor, was bloodied in the forced removal.

The passenger had a ticket. United deliberately overbooked the flight, gambling that some passengers wouldn’t show up.

At the last minute four employees of a partner airline wanted seats, so United staff decided to remove four paying customers.

When not enough volunteered to get off, staff choose this elderly doctor for forced removal.

Asians are questioning whether this is bias against Asians.

Financial experts are questioning whether United should be bought out.

United’s shares were falling fast Tuesday, April 11.

United CEO Oscar Munoz blamed the passenger, calling him “disruptive and belligerent.”

The video shows the truth.
