Shocking reports are speaking about an airline coming under fire for forcing a disabled war correspondent passenger to crawl to the bathroom.
More details regarding the incident spoke about how the individual involved was a leading journalist from the BBC, Frank Gardner, 63, who shared the degrading incident on the X app.
He mentioned how it’s 2024 but still, he is being forced to crawl along the floor of a LOT Polish Aircraft to enter the toilet during the flight back from Warsaw.
The incident arose because they didn’t have any onboard wheelchairs as per the airline policy.
It was mentioned how those who are disabled must use this mannerism which the journalist slammed as downright degrading and discriminatory.
The veteran journo was shot and paralyzed by an Al Qaeda gunman in Saudi Arabia, nearly two decades ago. Life is difficult for him as it is and he explained how incidents like these make it so much more worse.
The post has sparked widespread backlash for the airline as it also featured images of him and his feed on the ground with a long caption of what went on.
The airline says it is currently investigating the matter after being scrutinized for its harsh policies.
