Well, looks like they had bought 3 seats for her. However, she'd be a safety hazard as in case of an emergency if she'd block the passageway if she got up.

ultimately, the plane's captain is responsible for the safety of ALL passengers. this women presents a serious potential safety hazard to others. AND MAN, IS SHE FAT!!!!!

Sad to see how someone can get to this state. I'm thinking a chartered C130 is the way to go.

To add insult to injury, only the good old US of A would see a law suit for that debacle.

I have mixed feelings about this. While it's true the captain is the ultimate authority, or at least should be, as to what is safe on a flight, the airline got her to Hungary so should have been able to bring her home as well.

As to whether the airline should have paid; probably. It was probably settled for much less than 6 million to say nothing about attorney costs. If it had gone before a sympathetic jury in the U.S.A., the penalty could have been much more than 6 million.

I don't feel too sorry for the airline though. Their business is hauling bodies while making the most money as possible. Economy comfort? You have to pay extra for comfort? Ridiculous!

She was too fat to fly in the first place, but the US crews were too PC to tell her that. Only until she was in Europe was she told the truth. But even then they shouldn't have jerked her around like they did.



Airlines screwed themselves by letting her fly once. But after they took a bite of that s&it sandwich,they obligated themselves to finish it.

sooner or later society will have to learn that there are things off limits to disabled people, things that their bodies will not let them do, and then tell them that

When she flew over in the first place she was probably ambulatory.

It appears that at the airport on the way back she was not able to move herself. In that case she would have been a hazard to the flight crew who would have been responsible for moving her in an emergency. If several firefighters were unable to move at the airport then three or four flight attendants would not have been able to move her in case of an evacuation.
