People suck.

Short version:
- dad has cancer
- going on "bucket list" trip to visit family
- son has allergic reaction on plane
- flight attendants ask them to leave
- passengers applaud

The people on the plane don't know the entire back story.

 

[Joe Summer]

Why applaud at all?

 

[Angry Beavers]

People suck OR

There is more to this story.....

OR Both

People suck.

Why applaud at all?

Could just be applauding because their already late flight was finally going to get to leave.  Sucks that it happened, but they may not have understood the reason, nor the story behind behind it, for the delay.

Kid needed to get off the plane.

Passengers needed the plane to take off.

All seems right here to me?

I wish the kid had stayed on the plane and died and the passengers were all angry.

Imagine that plane had crashed

Maybe they were clapping for the kid when they saw he was well enough to get up and walk off the plane just like if he were an injured player. 

People. Always assuming the worst of others.

I thought that too until the kid got hit with a tomato and rotten head of lettuce.

Sounds to me like the people on the plane were completely uninformed. I was stuck on a runway for over an hour 5 days ago returning from NYC. They didn't tell us anything. Announcement came we were finally cleared for take off and people cheered.

one time i knocked myself out skiing and when i woke up and started moving, the people on the chairlift started clapping.   I took it to mean they were happy I was alive, but they could have meant "sick wipeout dude" also.
