Scenes of regret recorded last Thursday, May 19, went viral on social media when a passenger and a United Airlines employee were shown in a heated argument that turned into physical aggression.
The videotaped incident took place at Newark Airport in New Jersey and involved a exsoccer player who used a wheelchair to transport his luggage instead of paying for a specific cart.
