A 26-year-old quadriplegic man who uses a wheelchair, ventilator and tracheal tube was left with a brain damage after reportedly being removed violently from a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Monroe, Louisiana in 2019, with his life expectancy decreasing from 39 before the incident to just 31.5 – the US airline has recently agreed to paid US$30 million to the man’s family, according to various media reports. As of June, the man, Nathaniel Foster, has reportedly remained in a vegetative state.
