Tragedy struck on a United Airlines flight from Houston to New York City, when a dog in a TSA-compliant pet carrier died after a flight attendant allegedly forced its owner to store the animal and its carrier in an overhead bin for the duration of the four-hour Monday flight.
The story was first reported by travel blogger the Points Guy. United has since claimed full responsibility for the “tragic accident.”
According to passenger Maggie Gremminger, she and others heard the black French bulldog barking initially during the flight, and were horrified to learn the animal had died later in the trip.
That dog was in the overhead compartment for 4 hours, I am sure it died from lack of oxygen. Google the story. |
Was there some rule in place that said she could not check the overhead compartment? In 4 hours, she never thought to check on her dog? Yes United was wrong but so was she for not checking on her dog.
