Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

WTF, OP? I had to find an archive to get the rest of the text, and there was a lot more to the story. As usual, United has fully lived down to its abysmally low standards.
For anyone else who has zero intentions of paying for a NBC subscription for one article, here's an archive link. There are known problems with the site, but I could not find another archive that had the content. Use at your own discretion:

Holy shit, this is infuriating. And then they try to gaslight her in email.
That fucking guy should have been arrested and banned forever from the airline. I have no idea what the fuck the crew was thinking.
I hope she can press charges and sue the airline, IANAL but it seems like she has a solid case, given how NBC judged her story to be true and newsworthy.
This story was on the WildFeed comm a couple of days ago… and, yeah, United did almost everything poorly or wrongly. Mind blowingly so.
That site also doesn't load
The problem might be on your end, because both links are working fine for me.
Same here.
Why should I try something different when it's already working? You are the one with the problem. Maybe you should try a less security hardened browser as it might be the thing that is causing your problem.
Your disability accommodations include a special security hardened browser?
And an emotional support canned ham, you discriminatory fuck. How very dare you.
/s, just in case anyone needs it -- for support
That's a perspective I hadn't considered, thank you for sharing. I hope that you're okay, be safe.
"I don't like that he's actually saying something that makes sense so it's ableist" ahh comment
No it isn’t.
Yeah, but you were framing it as if becauce it didn't worked to you, then it didn't worked to anyone else
It loads fine in Vanadium, Firefox and elinks. Not sure what you're going on about. It seems like this is a problem with either your connection or your setup, rather than the website, considering myself and others have accessed it fine.
They are probably talking about ReCaptcha. Loads for me from my normal IP (still has a chance to show up) but not from Tor. Latter passable in Tor Browser when fucking with the regular challenge for a while then doing the audio.
FWIW, the captcha didn't trigger for me in Vanadium over a VPN, so it's not as if you have to completely disable any privacy measures to access it, at least.
