I believe him. Flight attendants feel emboldened for all the wrong reasons...
As do customers....
@@nothx512, not all customers, speak for yourself...
@@wheelman1232 guilty until proven innocent right? Until you hear the response from everyone on the plane, he's guilty right?
Outrageous! How many times is United going to abuse their customers before people just refuse to fly them? Have we all forgotten them dragging people off?
#UnitedBreaksGuitars
United airlines is not the problem, but it's the people in this world with hate and evil running through their veins
Stop flying united
Terrell davis is a legend.
Sorry this happened to you Terrell. I can't imagine how his kids must have felt seeing their father go through that.
This man is one of the squeakiest clean players ever.
Thank you, Terrell Davis for speaking out about this. He and his wife are helping numerous people who have experienced this and/or will continue experiencing this. I've flown dozens of times, and on a few flights, flight attendants (one in each of those few flights) have gaslighted me and intentionally ignored me (but served all other passengers) for basic things like a cup of water. These flight attendants saw an easy target in me and wanted to reflect all their insecurities, their immaturity and their yearn for power/control by intentionally ignoring me and almost wanting me to beg them for basic services which is part of their job anyway. One flight attendant was a small young white girl, another was a large but short brown older lady. It's as if they want to provoke you so that they can "accomplish" something in their day through calling the cops on you. I am a 30-something Asian male with glasses, and I look kind in the face and young and innocent, with a medium-pitched voice, and at times insecure/ignorant people like these few flight attendants have extreme unconscious/conscious bias.
Wow
Abuse of power on multiple layers. Police arresting without any hard evidence. And a flight attendant who just had an emotional outburst. Pilot failed to ask questions too. They just ran with his story. Failure on multiple layers.
I hope the lawsuit has already been filed, I have seen enough of airlines' arrogance, this got to stop
How horrible! I am sorry that happened to you. People do not want anyone to touch them! They ignore what you are saying until you have to just touch them to get their attention then youare in trouble. That is just taking it a bit too far. Maybe those people should not be in customer service!
Sorry this happened to TD but I remember back when he was playing he humiliated, demoralized, and embarrassed the Chiefs defensive linemen and stripped them of their dignity twice a year.
I believe this man.
Jussie Smollett also shared a story with this same reporter. Remember
The airlines are horrible, right now.
This is crazy, the person who made the decision to get LE involved should be fired, his fares should be refunded and provided some other form of compensation. I’ll do my best to avoid United.
So sorry this happened… it showed your children how cruel this world is.
I pray for you all the heal from this trauma as a family. 🙏🏽
I pray y’all don’t hold grudges against the airlines and guy as they are going to eventually see the error of their ways.
okay Jussie smollett, did they say this is maga airline?🤣😁🤣
I am so sad to hear this. He's a great guy, and what a terrible situation. Flight attendants need to lighten up and think. As a former flight attendant, I know how hard it is to be working long hours and dealing with the high maintenance sky divas out there, but this was blown way out proportion.
Tyrell and his family deserve an apology from that flight attendant and United.
Lawsuit the Hand cuffs totally unnecessary. The FBI needs to have a better assessment process. Before Deploying Hand cuffs .
Consequences of DEI. I can almost guarantee the flight attendant was an entitled they/them
Did the "male" flight attendant have his rainbow and Palestinian flag pins on?
Terrell's pro-Israel!? That's disappointing...
Still with the bs😂
pretty sure he has the rainbow one at least. I cant see a guy slamming the cups like that..
I love that boy he's like one of my sons he's got total respect somebody brought him up in the right way and I'll f****** defend him any day
"that boy" ?? He is a man not a boy.
Terrell Davis, the former NFL player, was involved in an incident where he was removed from a commercial flight in 2010. The details of the incident are not entirely clear, but it involved an altercation between Davis and the Flight Attendant. Despite the incident, Davis has remained a highly respected figure in the football community and has been recognized for his contributions to the sport. The incident did not seem to have a lasting impact on his career or public image.
Yes, you are correct. There was an incident in 2018 where Terrell Davis, the former NFL player, was asked to deplane from a United Airlines flight. According to reports, Davis was removed for allegedly being disruptive to other passengers and refused to comply with the flight attendants' requests. The incident caused a bit of controversy at the time, as Davis claimed that he was being unjustly singled out. However, United Airlines stated that they were just enforcing their policies.
Yes, there have been reports that former NFL player Terrell Davis was removed from a United Airlines flight in 2019. According to media reports, Davis was reportedly unruly and disruptive during the flight and was asked to leave by the flight crew. Further details about the incident, including the specific reasons for his removal and any disciplinary action taken by the airline against him, have not been publicly disclosed.
Yes, in a well-known incident, Terrell Davis, the former NFL running back, was removed from a United Airlines flight in 2015. The incident occurred when Davis was asked to switch seats with a fellow passenger who was traveling with a child. When Davis refused, claiming that he had paid for a specific seat, the flight attendants made the decision to remove him from the plane.
The incident sparked controversy and led to widespread criticism of United Airlines, with many people expressing concern over the airline's treatment of passengers and its policies regarding seating arrangements.
Terrell Davis, the former NFL player, made headlines in 2017 when he was forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight after refusing to give up his seat to make room for a standby passenger. The incident sparked controversy and led to widespread criticism of United Airlines for its handling of the situation. According to reports, Davis had purchased a first-class ticket and was already seated on the plane when he was asked to give up his seat for a standby passenger. When he refused, security officers were called in to forcibly remove him from the plane.
Terrell Davis, the former NFL player, has had several negative experiences with United Airlines. In addition to the 2017 incident where he was forcibly removed from a flight after refusing to give up his seat, Davis has also made headlines for other negative interactions with the airline. In 2015, he was verbally harassed by a United employee while trying to check-in for a flight, and in 2018, he filed a complaint against the airline after a flight attendant accused him of smoking in the bathroom. Overall, Davis has had a tumultuous relationship with United Airlines.
Yeah sure. Go Google it Nairaland Pink and Green
Was it necessary for the FBI to handcuff the guy like he was a wanted fugitive? They couldn't have just said "excuse me, could you come with us?"
They are targeting black men now who travel via airports. Several of my friends have been stopped for no apparent reason recently. I had an issue last month with a "system error" not recognizing my visa before a flight. Just stay calm and be cool if anything happens to you because Davis has now made this public. Thanks man!
This flight attendant needs to be investigated. I will never fly United.
Let’s hear what the FA has to say before jumping to any conclusion
We know what he said - he said a big scary black guy assaulted him, and so the Feds busted in there, guns-blazing, to arrest him. A witness however saw what happened and Davis was let go.
Ty for coming forward, this was an outrage and needs to be investigated. A personal apology to the whole family especially the children. This happens to often and needs to be addressed!!
we are only hearing one side.
Sounds so civilized. I like to hear the other side of the story. There is always three sides to a story both parties and somewhere in between.
Sounds like the woman who was yelling at me at spirit airlines because i didn’t know their check in procedure and wasn’t ready when i got to the front of the line. i got so frustrated and my anxiety went through the roof, i started crying and delayed the line when more. Terrible customer service 😢😢😢
Sorry but I have never heard of FBI being involved of pulling a passenger off of a flight…..and I have worked in aviation for 20+ years. No handcuffs needed as they simply could asked him to follow them out of the plane to discuss.
This is not a problem with law enforcement or the FBI, where is Ken?
A fabulist flight attendant.
They would have to do the my interview in my bed because my nervous system had shut down due the trama from that plane ride
When I want to get someone’s attention I say “Excuse me” I don’t put my hands on them. Would love to hear the other side of the story.
😢
ABC News, Good Morning America, CNN etc. Terrell Davis is milking this one for everything he can! Yes, he was seriously wronged and yes, he is going to exploit it for everything he can - celebrity, settlement dollars etc. Perhaps in the end, he will end up sending a thank you note to the flight attendant.
i believe him. some people just take their problems to work
he should sue
Who is the flight attendant..??? Picture, video, social media..??
If it happened they way he tells it then its outrageous. But. Is it fair to only hear one side of the story ? He tapped the FA on the arm. Define tap. Personally I would never touch a FA. Unless there’s video of the incident then we will never know for sure, will we?
Seems like witness testimony would have to account for something?
You must be kidding. There were PEOPLE sitting ALL AROUND THIS MAN WHO SAW AND HEARD THE SAME THING HE IS REPORTING. You must be related to the flight attendant to think like that. If it happened to you, you would think like this. Come on man THEIR WERE MANY WITNESSES TO THE EVENT
You say, "But. Is it fair to only hear one side of the story?" ... Apparently, it was fair for the pilot and law enforcement to "only hear one side of the story" (the flight attendant's side) and run with it. Even though there was allegedly a witness who contradicted the flight attendant's claim.
Weak 😂
@@garageshop6021 Good point
I am saddened by the news but pleased to see individuals speaking out. This issue transcends race and is fundamentally about human decency. Although it is disheartening that such incidents occur in America, I am encouraged by the fact that citizens have the freedom to publicly voice their grievances in the pursuit of justice and raise public awareness.
Show us the video, then we will comment about it.
Flight Attendants are jaded because of all the abuse they've taken. Dealing with the public is hard. Dealing with the public as a nurse, a teacher, a flight attendant, restaurant waitstaff, or a police officer is on another level. I believe this gentleman. I've been on flights where I was kind, respectful, asked a simple question, and was given major attitude... oh, the times -- -- they are a-changin'. 😂
Apology United, Apology!! Be Humble For Once!!
He probably over reacted..
What a thug you don’t touch anyone you ask!
So why was he handcuffed? He doesn’t ever say that.
Yes go effect change!
Ahhhhh. More to Terrell’s story on this network. The plot Bisquickens.
I’ve met him several times, he’s not that big, if you did not know who he was you would just think he’s another 5’10 black guy. I guarantee that flight attendant had no idea that he was about to cause a PR nightmare for the company that he works for. At some point the pendulum will swing back the other way hard and the alphabet triggered people will lose their hold on America.
Just for ice, and now all this drama!
We need your help, please! Our medias are not supporting us.Although they want to support us,but they are afraid of about our government! We badly need your help! They again attack on students today! We are helpless, please!
We want justice
#SaveBangladeshiStudents
Did he go to jail?? No....was he booked?? No....Was he charged?? No....
Something else happened on this flight cause he did fly to his destination and was detained after. I want to hear what the flight attendant has to say.
Well......his first mistake was flying United. They treated him disgustingly. I would never fly United. For sure I wont now. They owe him a very PUBLIC apology. That flight attendant should be FIRED. And.....fly Delta.
You never put your hand on a flight attendant. That was his mistake.
Note, United Airlines is a DEI company. Just saying.....
Make fear your friend…said😊
@@oscarwarren469 is it fear when it is hard reality?
It's a pattern, no longer humiliation. No one should be fighting it. #cwdact
It's always seems to be United Airlines
United again😮
I think if Terrell would've hit him, as the flight attendant claims, he most certainly would have known it! Dude was having a crappy day & should've called off. ✈️💺
Good ol’ United. As if I needed a reminder of why I haven’t flown them since they had the cops beat that guy in Chicago senseless after they tried to bump him after he had been given permission to board. Don’t Fly the Violent Skies
See, there was a fight going on!
You'd be pissed off too if you had a be a male flight attendant 😂
You fly private Terrell.
Cry me a river😂😂
Hopefully, you don't know how to swim😬 he's handling this in the only way that he can. People who just sit back and accept any kind of treatment from anybody are weaklings and have no value in the meaning of the word respect or dignity. Good luck with your life
Remember a who made that song...
By touching the person without that person's consent he committed battery
He should have been arrested 💯💯😮
Do you think that airlines routinely call the FBI every time a flight attendant is tapped on the shoulder?
It sounds fishy
#united
Ridiculous!
He is going to get paid and fly for free for life. Cha-ching!!!
It’s not that they don’t know their attitude stinks. Why do they want to continue to keep repeat history?
Slow day huh
If you have to explain the story with such detail, you're probably at fault and trying to exaggerate what happened to you while downplaying what you've actually done..
rumor has it United paid the Chinese doctor over 200 million, hopefully Davis can sue for at least 10 million, even though he doesn't need it.. United is jealous of Spirit and wants to provide bad customer service too.. lol
I have trouble believing him because this is Terrell Davis and he was always one of the biggest problem children of the NFL. He was kicked off a couple of teams because he couldn't keep his mouth shut
Sob 🙂
I missed the part where he apologized for putting his hands on the person but I caught the part where he played the race card . I'm just glad United has now made it clear we can touch their stewardess and stewards .
It was more interesting when they dragged the Asian doctor out of HIS seat..down the main aisle of the aircraft,, and into the lobby of his bank...He should've used the name of the airline and the flight number as part of his bank account password....
They live in fear
I am very sorry that this happened to you Mr. Davis & your family… some day they are gonna put cameras on all aircraft’s .. cameras all over the plane… it is coming to that .. I know.. I know ..”Why when we have cell phones “??…the airlines will own this video .. no &s ifs or buts its the airlines property.. they will not have to buys the video or fine it on TH-cam.. with that said.. I am surprised we have not seen any video of this yet …
Stop crying. Nashville is already flooded
This is such bullshit. I doubt very much he’s telling the whole truth and I doubt very much he was as nice and polite as he says he was being. There’s always two sides to a story and I fly a lot and I’ve witnessed passengers behaving badly all the time. You couldn’t pay me enough to be a flight attendant and deal with obnoxious, entitled, rude passengers. I don’t believe Terrell is telling the truth
What kind of dumb assumption?
Other unrelated peoples past behaviour is no indication about whether or not Terrell is telling the truth.
Why he flying coach?
Because he's careful with how he spends his money! Short flight. Why pay six times more?!!!
@@GeeBee212 so he doesn't get locked up and have to pay for an attorney
Why not..
DEI
I'm sure there's more to the story...I doubt he was as saintly as he makes out
You must be a little MAGA person.
@@annpelrine9429Get help!
He and family were out of line. Guaranteed
Lets face it some people just have to show you there racist side..
🙄
Try not to be a big black dude when flying.
How about a Big white dude would that make a difference.
Wow there are a lot of snowflakes in America. You have $ sue United Airlines. Y would be hit a guy by just asking for ice? Sue their azzes!
Outrageous! How many times is United going to abuse their customers before people just refuse to fly them? Have we all forgotten them dragging people off?
