David Dao (born 1948) is a Vietnamese-Chinese American[1] medical doctor and professional poker player from Kentucky.
Dao was forcibly removed from United Airlines Flight 3411 on April 11, 2017, in an incident subsequently shared on social media which continues to receive heavy media coverage.[2][3] According to data from Brandwatch, negative sentiment in social media for United Airlines increased significantly following circulation of video of Dao being removed from the plane; shares of United fell sharply as a result.[4][5]
