Man dragged from United flight says it was 'more horrifying and harrowing' than fleeing Vietnam

The experience of being physically removed from a United Airlines flight by security staff was worse than fleeing Vietnam following the fall of Saigon in 1975, Mr Dao relayed to his lawyer.

Vietnamese immigrant David Dao, 69 was left with a serious concussion, a broken nose, two missing teeth and other injuries when he was removed from United Flight 3411 at O'Hare International Airport, Chicago on Sunday.
