Virgin Australia removed Shane Hryhorec, an Adelaide-based disability rights activist, from a flight because of his motorized wheelchair. The airline only called to apologize after a video of the incident reached 16 million views.

- They only reacted because of the viral video — that's not a sincere apology
- What matters more than words is whether boarding rules actually change
- They should have compensated the passenger for the humiliation
