A 16 yr old with down syndrome denied first class. Security claims the boy was a security risk. A video shows the boy sitting and waiting for his plane playing with his hat. Some risk.
American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller said the disabled boy was agitated and running around the gate area prior to boarding, which his parents dispute. The airplane's pilot observed the boy, Miller said, and made the call based on his behavior.
I think the airline owes this family a hugh apology, not to mention compensation.
