United Airlines stock has absolutely plummeted following the worldwide story of the 69-yr-old doctor being thrown off an overbooked plane.
Over $800 million were wiped out of the company’s stock as the markets reacted to the violent incident.
Footage recorded by other passengers emerged, showing a group of airport police forcibly removing a passenger from an overbooked flight. The passenger appeared to be unconscious as he was being dragged down the aisle and off the plane.
He was seen back in the plane some time later, with his face bloodied, and stumbling on his feet.
Social media erupted in a firestorm of criticism over the incident. At one point the 69-yr-old doctor was said to have thought he was going to killed by security.
