Did Southwest Airlines Refuse Boarding for a Dying Passenger? {Gadling}

Jan 27th 2007 7:35AM Perhaps the reason major news outlets aren't reporting this is because there are so many questionable things about the story.

Southwest is famous for great customer service and they even have a special department that does nothing but Civic and Charatable Contributions, including free travel for medical needs. So does this make sense.

Last I read, the daughter providing the details was in Japan. How can she be the definitive source of information about what happened.

The man is reported to be home now, so the headlines "Richard Brown nearly died on Sunday" is obviously exaggerated, and has little or nothing to do with what Southwest did or did not do.

People don't usually travel around looking for a liver. Their tissue samples are taken and they are notified when a match is found.

The whole things just doesn't ring true, and again, that might be why we are only seeing it on blogs where truth is often a scarce commodity.
