Jimmy Kimmel goes off on United Airlines

[True Dough]

He devoted the first 5 minutes of his monologue to the United Airlines debacle. It's worth a watch.

3. I'm so glad Jimmy called United out like this.. However..

it is my understanding that they weren't "overbooked".. they had an emergency need to transport their crew so they needed 4 seats.

And, they handled it badly.. I hope they're held responsible for this.. the CEO's statement..

United CEO says airline had to 're-accommodate' passenger, and people are having a riot

"This is an upsetting event to all of us here at United. I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers. Our team is moving with a sense of urgency to work with the authorities and conduct our own detailed review of what happened."

I actually teared up a little when I saw them dragging the Dr out.
