Airlines Under Media Scrutiny (again); Dan Lothian & Jimmy Young react...

Another incident on an airline puts a pet dog down for the count. Now United Airlines is under attack for making a passenger put her pet in the overhead compartment. A concerned observant passenger used her Search skills to work on the Internet and it goes viral. Below is her tweet that got the attention of major news organizations.  https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/a-dog-died-on-united-airlines-this-other-passengers-viral-strategy-is-why-you-know.html A FLIGHT ATTENDANT'S RIGID BAG RULES- LEFT A DOG DEAD IN THE OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT OF A UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT. HOW DID THE WORLD END UP HEARING ABOUT THIS STORY? WE'LL TRACE THE DNA OF A BRILLIANT SOCIAL MEDIA BLITZ.
