At approximately 7:10 p.m. on September 12, 2025, United Airlines Flight 32 (a Boeing 737-800) from Narita Airport to Cebu, Philippines, made an emergency landing at Kansai International Airport after an alarm went off while flying over the Pacific Ocean. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Kansai Airport Office, all 142 crew members and passengers evacuated the aircraft using the emergency slides. Two people were taken to the hospital, and three others sustained minor scrapes.
Passengers on this flight experienced a horrifying ordeal, similar to a notorious incident involving United Airlines in 2017. The phrase "Flight was frightful" perfectly captures the terror they must have felt.
On April 9, 2017, a 69-year-old Vietnamese-American doctor, David Dao, was forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight and severely injured.
Background: The flight was overbooked, and United needed to make room for four of its employees, so they asked four passengers to deplane.
Refusal: Dr. Dao refused to give up his seat, as he had patients to see the next day.
Forcible Removal: Airport security officers forcibly dragged Dr. Dao from his seat, causing him to sustain serious injuries, including a broken nose.
A video of the incident quickly went viral on social media, leading to widespread condemnation of United Airlines. Dr. Dao later said the experience was "more frightening than the fall of Saigon and escaping Vietnam." His words convey the unimaginable terror he must have endured.
