Delta Airlines has agreed to settle a lawsuit filed against them by a paralyzed man after they denied him proper accommodations getting on and off planes.
When Baraka Kanaan booked a flight with Delta in 2012, he was assured they'd be able to accommodate his disability. Kanaan had been paralyzed in 2000 in a car accident.
The plane landed in Nantucket and flight attendants told Kanaan that they didn't have a wheelchair or lift for him. He was forced to crawl through the cabin, down stairs and across the airport tarmac to his wheelchair.
Kanaan said the ordeal made him feel like "someone had a sledgehammer and they were pounding a 10-inch spike in my sacral, hammering away."
Delta apologized to Kanaan and assured him that it wouldn't happen again.
But Kanaan was forced to repeat the process during his return flight as Delta again lacked the proper equipment. Kanaan filed a lawsuit, and Delta agreed to settle with him. The details expected to be finalized in June.
