Read it from a more balanced source instead of Daily Mail and you'll get a less skewed perspective.
The man decided to get up and go to the loo (multiple times) while the plane was in line for takeoff and wouldn't listen to instructions.
He didnt get beat up, he was asked to leave and he refused so the pilot told everyone to get off, this plane is not leaving.
Sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go. You and I have no idea whether there was a good reason for that. I have certainly had to get up and go when the seatbelt sign is on. It did appear that the departure had been very delayed. kicking him off the flight seemed excessive.
This version seems pretty balanced to me - I have not seen the Daily Mail version: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.7067a00abf9f
I don't get the kicking people off the plane game. Typical US airline and their attitude.
I don't get it either. Man needed to pee. Sat down once when asked. Further delays. Couldn't hold it any longer so had to pee. Then rather than just get on with the flight, someone decides he has to leave. WHY? The poor sod has peed now so is probably not going to be a further problem - Delta just create a delay all of their own by making such a fuss. Plenty of evidence from that article (and similar ones) that the plane was not actually moving at the time... not imminently about to take off... just sitting in a queue.
Anyone have any idea what the United settlement might have been? Extremely curious.

Try this version. The Straits Times are pretty reliable in reporting.
