BBC reporter Frank Gardner who was paralysed by al Qaida gunman fuming as he's left on plane

BBC journalist and wheelchair user Frank Gardner expressed outrage at being left on a plane after it landed at Gatwick. The security correspondent was stranded on the aircraft after flying to the West Sussex airport with Iberia Express on Thursday night.

This comes after a passenger with restricted mobility died at Gatwick on June 15. He fell while going up an escalator after leaving an aircraft without a helper.

Mr Gardner has been left on planes at UK airports several times in recent years. During the latest incident he posted an image on Twitter from inside the aircraft with no other passengers in sight.
