It was being reported that the airline was trying to make room for four of its employees on the Sunday evening flight to Louisville, Ky.
In the video, the other passengers can be heard saying, “Please, my God,” ”What are you doing?” ”This is wrong,” ”Look at what you did to him,” and “busted his lip.”
