The first story is just so horrible. I hope those people who booted them off the plane really need to look closely at themselves. Scumbags.

Flying is not fun any more. :o
I hope I am never on a plane with those people that applauded that family being thrown off. :o

i can understand the mom being upset about her son having an allergic reaction.

but i can also say "i have a right to bring my service dog on the plane".

so whose medical concern trumps, yes?

in any case, people on the plane were unconscionably rude, and so was the staff.

yeah, that's just really uncouth. medical problems are a bitch to deal with, no reason for other people to be so ugly.

of course, had the airlines not made air travel so uncomfortable by making seat space smaller and by understaffing the flights, the other passengers may not have been so ugly.

my friend who had to travel across country to go see her son's best friend who was dying? their flight out of north carolina got cancelled...because one of the flight attendants was sick. so what did they do? they flew the EMPTY AIRPLANE with just staff aboard back to los angeles. seriously. it makes NO sense whatsoever.

I feel bad for that family, but the reporting is quite biased. Why were people clapping? There must have been a reason since nobody normally claps when someone is taken off a plane (or bus or train or whatever). We're only getting half the story here.

Yes, that is one problem I have with these stories.
There was another story recently I was going to post, but it just really felt like something was missing to make it sound so awful.
