Australian man squashed in economy seat sues airline

This is an interesting case, having heard a rumor that some overweight people are now demanding that airline seating be altered to accommodate them, I always find events like this something to watch, there is after all limited space on an aircraft and the weights must be properly allowed for, or disaster can result.

Legal action brought by a NSW man who was agonisingly crushed in his airline seat during a 14-hour journey is set to have repercussions for economy passengers. Michael Anthony Taylor, 67, of Wollongong, is suing American Airlines after cabin staff rejected his pleas to change seat after he found himself squashed between two obese fellow travellers.
