The doctor dragged off a United flight 2 years ago is breaking his silence — and says he's glad the viral incident ended in a positive way
He doesn't remember much of the incident, he told the morning show, after hitting his head on the plane's bulkhead and suffering a concussion. But after watching the video of the incident,"I just cry," he said.
"I had to hide," Dr. Dao explained of his unwanted fame."I stayed for months and months in the house." The two officers who dragged Dao by his limbs down the plane's aisle as terrified passengers looked on were"They have a job to do," Dao said."If they don't do it they might lose their job, so I'm not angry with them."
No United Airlines employees were fired because of the incident, though the company did eventually change its policies for crew booking and compensated all passengers on the flight. In a statement to ABC, the airline said"Flight 3411 was a defining moment for United Airlines and it is our responsibility to make sure we as a company … continue to learn from that experience.""The most important thing is that accident turned out in a positive way," he said.
