Remember that disturbing video of a United Airlines passenger being dragged off a plane because it was overbooked that we shared with you way back this morning?
Of course you do, it’s all the internet has been talking about today.

As we mentioned earlier, United Airlines issued a statement on Twitter condemning the actions caught on video.

Here are some of the best reactions we’ve seen so far, starting off with Cleveland Browns tackle Joe Thomas’ response…

After losing my job as head of ad content for Pepsi, I have to say my 1st day running customer services for United Airlines has been lively.

Right now, I suspect that if @United had offered four passengers $10,000 each to get off the plane it would’ve saved them money.

you guys will never have a problem with overbooking now that nobody will opt to fly with you.

And it goes on and on and on with almost every tweet freaking hilarious.
