| Dog dies on United flight after flight attendant forced passenger to put carrier in overhead bin |
| 2018-03-14 |
| [FOX] Tragedy struck on a United flight from Houston to New York City, when a dog in a TSA-compliant pet carrier died after a flight attendant forced its owner to store the animal and its carrier in an overhead bin for the duration of the four-hour Monday flight. First reported by travel blogger The Points Guy, United has since claimed full responsibility for the "tragic accident." According to passenger Maggie Gremminger, she and others heard the black French bulldog barking initially during the flight, and were horrified to learn the animal had passed away later in the trip, she told People. |

| #5 If the dog is in a carrier in the seat next to the owner the dog has the same amount of space as if the dog is in the overhead bin. There isn't much light and the air circulation isn't as good but usually those things don't kill dogs. |

| #1 Next time, store the flight attendant in the overhead bin for the duration of the flight. |
