Man sues American Airlines after becoming squashed next to obese passengers
A NSW man is suing American Airlines after he became squashed sitting next to two "grossly obese" passengers during a long-haul flight. Michael Anthony Taylor, of Wollongong, is seeking more than NZ$100,000 in damages from the airline, claiming he was crushed by the next passenger during the whole flight from Sydney to Los Angeles and refused permission from flight crew to move to another seat. He says the discomfort aggravated an existing back problem. The situation caused Taylor to experience pain, injuries and discomfort during the whole flight, which is about 14 hours long. He says he has since suffered back injuries, neck pain and injuries, ongoing discomfort and the aggravation of pre-existing scoliosis. <br/>
