WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel mocks United Airlines with safety video spoof


On Monday, video footage circulated on social media of a passenger on a overbooked United Airlines flight being violently removed. 

Jimmy Kimmel shared his views, by questioning the concept of  "overbooked" flights. 

"I've been to a hundred games and stadiums with 50,000 seats; they never sell the same seat two times to one person," Kimmel said. "But for some reason, airlines cannot figure this out."  

He also said the worst part of the situation was how the United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz handled it.

In a statement released on Twitter, Munoz said,  "This is an upsetting event to all of us here at United. I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers..." Munoz added that the airline is working "with the authorities" and conducting its own independent review of what happened.

Kimmel responded with, "That is such sanitized, say nothing, take no responsibility corporate B.S. speak. I don't know how the guy who sent that tweet didn't vomit when he sent that out."
