Airline forces paralysed man to crawl into plane
A wheelchair-bound man paralysed from the waist down was forced to climb 17 steps to board a Vanilla Air flight in Japan. Forty-four-year-old Hideto Kijima, who was told company safety rules banned anyone from carrying him, crawled up the stairs using only his arms as there was no lift. Meanwhile, Vanilla Air said it has apologised to the passenger.
