Wheelchair kid stranded by Air Canada after tweet-a-thon {Gadling}

Aug 8th 2010 9:28PM Please, people, be aware that there are many low end wheelchairs that are available for a nearly normal body. You can buy some manual wheelchairs for less than $300. This young man could not use such a chair. Anyway who uses a $15,000 wheelchair, which is an electric wheelchair, has many serious needs, and such a chair is not just sitting in a nearby medical supply store aiting for womeone to pick it up; it must be special-ordered, specially built, and approved. I hope Air Canada is aware of this and quickly gets its tail in gear, or this is going to be one sad story. I often travel with my wheelchair and/or motorized scooter, and I wonder how in the heck they managed to ruin this young man's chair.
