United Airlines won’t be fined by the Department of Transportation after officers forcibly removed a 69-year-old doctor from a flight at Chicago’s O‘Hare International Airport in April, which left him bloodied and disoriented.
In a May 12 letter that was made public by the passenger advocacy group, Flyers Rights, the department notified United Airlines that they would not face fines from the federal government for dragging physician David Dao from an overbooked flight, according to the Chicago Tribune.
In a statement to People on Wednesday, a United spokesperson said the airline is working to better their customer service.

I truly admire Rob Cohen. Despite lacking any discernible talent or sense of style that isn’t taken from an early 2000′s music video, he’s managed to get movies made, and they manage to make money. A press release from Cj E&M Pictures and Grapevine Entertainment brings the wonderful news of a Korean War epic that he’s screwing up helming, titled 1950.
What’s really sad, above all else, is that this is based off the work of New York Herald Tribune reporter Marguerite Higgins, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her work, which also makes her the first woman to win the coveted prize. So, the film based on her great efforts is directed by the guy who made The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Go figure.
Written by Rachel Long and Brian Pittman, the movie focuses on the reporter’s trip across the Korean peninsula with a marine platoon.
