Wheelchair user Rodney Hodgins was on a flight from Vancouver to Las Vegas when, on arrival, mobility assistance staff didn’t arrive to help him off the plane. Hodgins – who is unable to walk – says he was pressured to disembark the plane on foot. The airline has since apologized.
The off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot accused of attempting to disable a plane’s engines mid-flight told investigators he believed he was dreaming and had taken “magic mushrooms” 48 hours before the incident, according to state court records obtained by CNN.
