I saw this as a woman who is 4.11 and not overweight at all. Maybe they just need to make ALL airplanes big enough to accommodate all of their passengers.

That's not true according to this direct quote from one of the people who had to sit next to her body:

"[It] was pretty heartbreaking to watch,” Ring said on A Current Affair. “They went to try and move her, they brought this chair down ... and tried to wheel her up towards business class, but she was quite a large lady and they couldn't get her through the aisle.”

Every other article I've seen has repeated that she was obese and hard to move.

It’s a typo (saw should be say in the first sentence). PP is saying they themselves are 4’11” and not overweight, then giving their opinion.

Nothing is free. If they make the seats and aisles bigger to accommodate the few bigger passengers who can’t fit safely into seats and down the aisles in an emergency then that would mean fewer seats total on the plane, which means the airline would increase prices significantly for each of those seats. I know that DC is full of wealthy people who think this is fine, but the rest of the country already struggles to afford flight tickets and couldn’t easily afford to pay significantly more the way that you guys can.

It's the rest of the country that is significantly overweight and having to buy two seats already. Wouldn't it be nice to again have to only buy one seat?

No.

- not wealthy and can fit into our own seats

Statistically, however, that is not the case. But good for you.

Even on your own map, it’s more likely than not that someone is not actually obese, no matter where they come from.

And ... here comes the fat phobia...

Sorry, not sorry. I HATE fat people. They’re disgusting.

They are human beings just like you and they deserve respect. You are a stunted human being and should be ashamed.

We can have respect for people but still not want to need to squash into our own seat in order to accommodate them. Or pay a lot more per ticket to have bigger seats and aisles in order to accommodate them. Or accept a much higher risk of death in the event of a crash because we can’t get over/past them and they’re blocking the exit.

Only the fittest survive, right? You're a horrible human.

You have it backwards, honey. I want everyone on the plane to be able to escape in an emergency. Including the obese people and any people stuck behind them.

Honey, you can't both HATE them and want them survive.

Next time you fly, I hope you are forced to sit in the middle seat between two very large and smelly men.

I feel for the people I sit next I’m just a big guy not fat. 6’4”
250 lbs and don’t smell.

I didn't actually mean to disparage you. I know it came off that way. I think the attitude that the pp has towards bigger and overweight people is terrible.

Yeah they act like it's a lifestyle choice when it's just genetics.
