This flyer was offloaded at gunpoint by airline; you won't believe reason why
In yet another disturbing incident, EasyJet airlines forced a retired doctor to de-board a flight at gunpoint. The reason for the row was leg room space. He was accused of being 'violent and aggressive'. After treatment for a rare medical condition that made it difficult for him to walk, Sam Ramsay Smith, 72 was on his way back from Amsterdam.
In yet another disturbing incident, EasyJet airlines forced a retired doctor to de-board a flight at gunpoint. The reason for the row was leg room space. He was accused of being 'violent and aggressive'. After treatment for a rare medical condition that made it difficult for him to walk, Sam Ramsay Smith, 72 was on his way back from Amsterdam. He was on his return flight to Gatwick, according to standard.co.uk.
According to the report, Dr. Smith had paid an extra £27 for a seat with more leg room to the airline. Smith said that after he boarded the flight, his booked seat was already taken. Smith also said that sub-machine guns armed police officers ordered him to get off the flight after he complained to the cabin crew about his seat.
However, EasyJet has declined the allegation and said that Dr. Smith had changed his flight at the last minute so his expected seat was taken by some other passenger. The airline has also said that Smith refused the offer of two other alternatives seats before assaulting the plane’s cabin manager.

In another such incident, some days back, a 20-year-old student was kicked off her flight from Stanstead to Cagliari, Sardinia by EasyJet after a seat broke and another passenger moved to her seat. For £283, Ellen Marandola had booked tickets to the Italian island on Friday, August 3, as reported by express.co.uk.

However, at the gate, she was stopped and was told that her seat was broken and she would have to wait. Later, the airline told that the broken seat belonged to some other passenger.
According to the report, EasyJet chose to offload Marandola rather than the other one as she was deemed to be the last person to check in on the flight at the airport.
