He says he asked the airline to provide her with a specialized wheelchair equipped with straps that help her sit upright. Instead, according to Saliagas, a Delta agent tied her to a wheelchair with a "dirty" blanket once she touched down in Amsterdam—leaving her in pain, tears, and "physically and emotionally abuse[d]," Atlanta's WSB-TV reports.


quote:

When she started crying, the employee allegedly told her to "shut the frick up," and said she'd be "left there" if she didn't stop, according to a post on Saliagas's Facebook. He added that she has bruises on her arms from where the agent allegedly tied her down.

seriously. Sometimes these stories sound too good to be true. What made the blanket a “dirty blanket”?

I feel like there’s probably more to the story than is being reported by the victim.
