41-year-old disability advocate Shane Hryhorec was removed from a Virgin Australia airplane on Monday, August 17, after a dispute with the crew over where a crucial component of his wheelchair should be stored.
The incident left him “upset, angry and humiliated,” he said, adding that experiences like this are why people with special needs have “anxiety” about flying.
Netizens, however, did not share his view, arguing that he was acting entitled.
