&lt;p&gt;Air Canada is currently facing significant criticism for leaving a disabled passenger to fend for himself. He was forced to drag himself off a plane in Las Vegas when the airline failed to provide a wheelchair for him. As a result of this incident, the Canadian Transportation Agency has imposed a fine of C$ 97,500 (Rs 61.5 lakh) on the airline.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What happened&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rodney Hodgins, 49, and his wife, Deanna Hodgins, had travelled to Las Vegas on August 30 to celebrate their anniversary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, things took a turn in the wrong direction for them when the couple landed in Las Vegas, and&amp;nbsp;Rodney Hodgins&amp;nbsp;was asked by the crew to&amp;nbsp;pull himself off a plane&amp;nbsp;as the airline failed to provide a wheelchair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When informed by a flight attendant that a wheelchair couldn&amp;#39;t be arranged, Rodney initially thought it was a joke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subsequently, the couple mentioned that the flight attendant inquired if they could manage to reach the front of the plane&amp;nbsp;on their own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#39;Of course I can&amp;#39;t. I&amp;#39;m in a wheelchair. I can&amp;#39;t walk&amp;#39;,&quot;&amp;nbsp;Rodney told&amp;nbsp;Canadian media outlets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in the end, was forced to use his upper body strength and drag him past 12 rows of seats, while his wife held his legs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;quotes&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;dlo_str-qt&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;dlo_qt-icn&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;36&quot; src=&quot;https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/sites/dailyo/images/social-icons/quote.svg?size=40:36&quot; width=&quot;40&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;dlo_qt-ttl&quot;&gt;&quot;He (the flight attendant) said it to me a second time, so that&amp;#39;s when I got up and I told my wife move my legs&amp;nbsp;and I dragged myself to the front of the plane.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;dlo_qt-txt&quot;&gt;- Rodney Hodgins&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, the Canadian Transportation Agency has imposed a fine&amp;nbsp;of C$ 97,500 (equivalent to Rs 64,50,000) on the airline.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not the first time&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;A similar&amp;nbsp;incident unfolded in September with Air Canada where they were not ready to place&amp;nbsp;the needs of their passenger first.

It occurs when there&amp;#39;s a significant temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the plane. This variance leads to moisture buildup, eventually forming water droplets that may leak into the cabin.&lt;/li&gt;	&lt;li&gt;For example, frost can accumulate on the aircraft&amp;#39;s structure. If the interior temperature rises above freezing, the frost melts rapidly, resulting in water accumulation.&lt;/li&gt;	&lt;li&gt;Ordinarily, this water should flow down the insulation&amp;#39;s sides into the fuselage&amp;#39;s bilge area (the plane&amp;#39;s lower section), where it drains out. However, damaged insulation, often caused by rodents, can exacerbate the leakage issue.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;READ MORE:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-ved=&quot;2ahUKEwini47U1-2CAxWmsVYBHXwNBrYQxfQBKAB6BAgMEAE&quot; href=&quot;https://www.dailyo.in/amp/lifestyle/indigo-and-customer-service-a-match-made-in-aviation-hell-42717&quot; jsname=&quot;YKoRaf&quot; ping=&quot;/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.dailyo.in/amp/lifestyle/indigo-and-customer-service-a-match-made-in-aviation-hell-42717&amp;ved=2ahUKEwini47U1-2CAxWmsVYBHXwNBrYQxfQBKAB6BAgMEAE&quot;&gt;Indigo and customer service, a match made in aviation hell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
