United Airlines has, two days later, finally issued a true apology after a passenger was pulled from his seat and dragged off a plane when a flight was overbooked.。

In a short statement issued Tuesday, CEO Oscar Munoz acknowledged that the incident was "horrific" and provoked "outrage, anger, disappointment." 。

"Like you, I continue to be disturbed by what happened on this flight and I deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard," he said in a new statement on Tuesday afternoon. "No one should ever be mistreated this way." 。

Here is the apology in full:。

Thanks for signing up!。

This apology comes a day after an initial attempt, in which Munoz said he was sorry that his company had to "re-accommodate" passengers. That choice of language didn't go down too well online. 。

Perhaps Munoz finally decided that a stronger apology was in order. Or perhaps you are someone who believes the world is a soulless place guided only by the scent of freshly minted money.。

The apology does seem to have come after United's stock -- ahem -- crashed. Do with that what you will. 。
