By Lindsey Bever Lindsey Bever General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 9 at 10:57 AM Exactly two years after passenger David Dao was dragged, screaming, from his seat on a United Airlines flight, he has broken his silence, saying he has shed many tears over the incident.
“I’m not angry with them,” he said. “They have a job to do. They had to do it. If they don’t do it, they must lose their job. So, I’m not angry with them or anything like this.”Dao said he decided to speak out publicly as a way to thank those who stood behind him. EXCLUSIVE: "I just cried."

One of the officers quickly reaches across two empty seats, snatches the man and pulls him into the aisle.“It looked like it knocked him out,” Bridges said. “His nose was bloody.” Then, amid widespread outcry, slipping stock prices and a settlement with the airline, he said the media attention became too much for him to handle. “Get to the point, I have to hide,” he told ABC News, explaining that he had to go underground. “I stay for months — months in house.”
