Man with Disabilities Crawls off Plane after Airline Fails to Assist Him
A man with disabilities crawled off a plane at Reagan
National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, Tuesday night after the airline failed
to provide an aisle chair and someone to help him get off the plane.
When no one from United Airlines came, and needing to use
the restroom, DArcee Neal crawled up the aisle from the middle of the plane to
the doorway.
"I mean, it's humiliating," he said. "No one
should have to do what I did."
Ironically, Neal was returning from San Francisco where he
had a speaking engagement about accessible transportation.
