Frank Gardner Crawls on LOT Polish Airlines Flight

Disabled BBC journalist Frank Gardner was forced to crawl to the toilet on a LOT Polish Airlines flight from Warsaw to London due to the lack of onboard wheelchair facilities. Gardner, who uses a wheelchair after being paralyzed by an al-Qaeda attack in 2004, criticized the airline's policy as discriminatory and outdated. Despite the cabin crew being as helpful and apologetic as possible, Gardner expressed his frustration on social media, garnering widespread empathy and outrage from the public. LOT Polish Airlines, while apologizing for the incident, stated that onboard wheelchairs are available on their long-haul flights but not on short-haul ones due to space constraints. The airline is reportedly working on solutions to equip its short-haul fleet with onboard wheelchairs in the near future.
