Dog Dies On United Flight

UNITED AIRLINES IS IN TROUBLE AGAIN AFTER A FAMILY FROM
TEXAS AS THEIR DOG DIED WHILE IN THE CARGO HOLD OF A PLANE
THAT WAS DELAYED FOR TWO HOURS.
THE DOG IS NAMED LULU.
LULU WAS A FIVE-YEAR-OLD CAVALIER KING CHARLES
SPANIEL AND WAS CLEARED BY A VETERINARIAN TO FLY DAYS
BEFORE LULU WAS BOARDED ON THE PLANE.
THE FAMILY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON SO FAR.
UNITED HAS RESPONDED WITH A STATEMENT.
INTERESTINGLY, SINCE 2012, ONE THIRD OF ALL ANIMAL TESTS
ON US CARRIERS OCCURRED ON UNITED AIRLINES.
I LOOKED UP, THERE WERE 136
ANIMAL TESTS ON US PLANES DURING THAT TIME.
53 WERE ATTRIBUTED TO UNITED AIRLINES A.
THAT IS INSANE.
THEY SAY ON THE RARE OCCURRENCE.
THAT ISRAEL GIVEN THE NUMBER OF FLIGHTS THERE IS, BUT
APPARENTLY A LITTLE LESS RARE IF IT IS ON UNITED.
LOOK, THEY'RE DIFFERENT AIRLINES HAVE DIFFERENT ISSUES FOR
DIFFERENT REASONS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A GREAT BOOK ABOUT WHY KOREAN AIRLINES
CRASH MORE IN THE PAST, NOT TODAY AND IT TURNED OUT THAT THE
COPILOTS, BECAUSE OF CULTURAL REASONS, WERE TOO POLITE
THAT EVEN IF THEY WERE ABOUT TO MOVE INTO A MOUNTAIN, THEY
WOULD NOT SELL THE PILOT, HEY, WATCH OUT WE ARE ABOUT TO DIE.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS TOO RUDE AND SO THEY WOULD CRUSH INTO
THE MOUNTAIN EVERYONE WITH THAT WHICH SEEMS A LITTLE ROUTER.
THAT IS A REAL STORY.
IT IS AMAZING, DIDN'T HAPPEN
FREQUENTLY, BUT HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY ON KOREAN
AIR IN THE PAST.
THEY'VE CORRECTED FOR IT.
THERE'S SOME CHANCE THAT UNITED IS DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE
WRONG.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY SAY THE AIR
CONDITIONING HAD GONE OUT IN THE MAIN CABIN.
IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR THE DOG IN THE CARGO HOLD.
THAT IS VERY LIKELY WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THEY WANT TO
INVESTIGATE FIND OUT FOR SURE.
WHAT I NEVER UNDERSTAND IS FIRST OF ALL, WHAT ARE THEY
BORED PEOPLE ON THE PLANE WHEN THEY KNOW OR BEFORE THEY
HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE STUCK
ON THE TARMAC FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE THE FLIGHT
HAPPENS OR WHY DON'T YOU MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE LAND,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO STAY ON THE TARMAC FOR SEVERAL
HOURS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT IS A COMMON THING.
THERE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE YOU ARE STUCK ON THE TARMAC
FOR SEVERAL HOURS IN ADDITION TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU'RE STUCK
ON THE PLANE AND MIRACULOUSLY, THEY'RE CONDITIONING ALWAYS
NOW FUNCTIONS WHEN YOU ARE STUCK ON THE TARMAC.
THERE WAS A STORY THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO
WHERE PEOPLE WERE LITERALLY STUCK ON THE PLANE ON THE TARMAC
FOR OVER FIVE HOURS AND PEOPLE STARTED THROWING UP BECAUSE
AIR-CONDITIONING WASN'T WORKING.
THEY WERE GIVING OUT FOOD.
THE ONLY THING THAT THEY WOULD GIVE OUT WAS WATER AND IT
IS JUST RIDICULOUS.
ONE PERSON ACTUALLY CALLED 911.
AN AMBULANCE SHOWED UP AT THEY SAID WE CAN'T TAKE YOU OFF
THE PLANE.
I DON'T GET WHY IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO GET THE PEOPLE
OFF OF THE PLANE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE SEVERAL
INDIVIDUALS THROWING UP.
I DON'T KNOW, IT IS THIS WEIRD AIRLINE POLICY THAT I'VE
NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT I'M SURE THERE MIGHT BE A GOOD
REASON FOR IT, BUT IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
I FEEL BAD FOR PET OWNERS.
I HAVE A PET TO, BUT PUTTING IT ON A PLANE IS A LITTLE BIT
DANGEROUS.
WE DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAVE ALL THE ISSUES THAT THEY DO AND
I'VE COURSE HAD A SOMEWHAT INFAMOUS FIGHT WITH AMERICAN
AIRLINES WHERE I THOUGHT THEY WERE ACTING IRRATIONALLY
AND BY THE WAY, WAS PROVEN RIGHT BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THEY
DID HAVE A PLANE WERE CHOOSING NOT TO BRING IT SO SOMETIMES
THEY ARE IN A DIFFICULT SPOT AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO.
SOMETIMES THERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN DO, THEY JUST
DON'T WANT TO DO IT BUT IF YOUR PET IS IN THE CARGO HOLD AND
IT THEN IT BECOMES A LITTLE BIT MORE MATTER OF URGENCY FOR YOU.
HEY WE HAVE TO FIX THIS THING, OTHERWISE LULU IS GOING TO DIE.
I LOOKED INTO IT TOO, A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE OR
ORGANIZATIONS ONLINE SEEM TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH PLACING
ANIMALS IN THE KERNEL TO BEGIN WITH BECAUSE THEY ARE
LIVING CREATURES AND THEIR DIFFERENT CONDITIONS DOWN THERE.
ACCORDING TO PETA, 300 ANIMALS HAVE DIED IN CARGO HOLDS IN
U.S. AIRPLANES SINCE 2005.
IT GOES BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.
WHY THIS NEEDLESS REGULATION, WHY DOES THIS DEFY COMMON
SENSE EVEN THOUGHT WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS?
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?
DOES IT HELP PEOPLE?
I'M NOT SAYING IT IS AN EASY ISSUE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
YOUR PIT BULL SITTING NEXT TO ME.
WE'RE STUCK IN A PLANE, IF WE ARE STUCK WITH NO
AIR-CONDITIONING FOR FIVE HOURS AND A PITBULL IS BREATHING
DOWN MY NECK, I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT.
I'M KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT THAT.
IF HE IS IN THE CARGO HOLD, AND THE OTHER HAND, IT'S GOING TO
ALMOST CERTAINLY DIE AND I DON'T WANT YOUR DOG TO DIE.
WE DON'T HAVE A GREAT
ANSWER HERE.
YOU GO WITH WHAT IS GOOD FOR HEALTH AND BEING ON LIVE.
IT'S A BALANCE.
I GET IT.
I'M A DOG OWNER, I LOVE DOGS SO SOMETIMES I
DON'T CONSIDER HOW OTHER PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT DOGS BECAUSE IN
MY EYES
IT IS LIKE YEAH, JUST LET THE DOG ON THE PLANE.
WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?
WHAT IS ABOUT TO BE IN
THE CARGO HOLD, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT.
