A Washington family blames Alaska Airlines and one of its contractors for the death of a 74-year-old grandmother.

Video at Portland International Airport shows Bernice Kekona mistakenly steering her motorized scooter toward an escalator, then falling down it on June 7, 2017. She died from an infection more than three months later.

The shyster lawyer who filed that suit for them should be required to personally pay all of the airline's defense costs.

Sad thing the airline will probably settle for a decent amount, which is why these things continue to happen

Family is chasing dollars. Dude on the upside did everything he could to stop her.

What the heck was grandma thinking?

This would have been prevented if you all would have let Obama move forward with the death panels.

Grandma would have already been buried and not a drain on society.

Make Death Panels Great Again.
