American Airlines claims story of passenger abandoned in wheelchair overnight is false, according to investigation
The family of a 67-year-old wheelchair-bound woman who alleges she was abandoned in the airport overnight on Friday after her American Airlines flight from Chicago to Detroit was canceled might have some explaining to do. (www.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Does anyone believe they would admit the report to be true and accurate?
Yes, if it was. Does anyone believe that common people will lie for attention or monetary gain?
If "overnight" means she went to the airport before midnight, and left the airport after midnight, the yes, she was there overnight. By abandoned, is someone implying the woman was not competent to take care of herself? According to logs reporting in the story, the flight returned to the gate at 11:14 and her family met up with her at 1:46 - 2 1/2 hours.
Lots of aircraft remain overnight (RON) The two 'overnights' are not the same.
Is the family making the case that she needed supervision? Mobility issues do not equate to incompetence.

I work in the Buffalo Airport, kind of a small quiet airport, and some of the stunts people try is amazing, I sort of wish I had that sort of "who cares about consequences" approach to life. Hopefully someone puts her thru the stress and difficulty the AA employees went thru explaining that "...it didn't happen that way...."
Pack your bags and leave your brains at home.
She can speak can't she. Having been with various airlines over the years and dealing w/ the handicapped as passengers, I have never seen a person just left who may be in some state where hand holding was required, help boarding yes, help at ticket counter yes, and family or someone just dropping off grandma or mom or whatever and leaving NO. One thing you learn about people and airports, most are in la la land. Sorry, but facts are facts

Let's try to understand why everyone who reacted to fake news is now trying to focus on something other than the facts. This is why we have a major issue with truth in this country. Somebody tweets something, it gfoes viral and the truth which modifies the the original story is barely noticed.
