In 2022, U.S. airlines damaged or destroyed more than 11,000 wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility aids. In January alone this year, 871 were battered.
American Airlines faced backlash from disabled people online after a video of an employee mishandling a wheelchair being offloaded from a plane in Miami went viral over the weekend.
The video, which was posted to TikTok on Nov. 19, showed a wheelchair shooting down a ramp from the jet bridge, crashing into a metal barrier and then somersaulting onto the tarmac. A worker on the tarmac picked up the wheelchair and put it on a cart.
