TV tonight: the shameful reality of what flying is like for disabled people

When nobody trains people as to the difficulties and ways of approaching problems with disabled people, everyone doesn't know what to do. When people don't know what to do, they improvise. That's disaster, pain, and damage to a disabled person with basic, but definite needs.

There's no reason an airline shouldn't provide both adequate training for personell on how to properly help, talk to, and assist disabled people, but they should also be sure their disciplinary system is setup to find, retrain, and possibly fire people that refuse to treat the disabled with dignity, respect, and kindness.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

9pm, Channel 4 “We’re treated like luggage, like cattle.” This documentary’s opening footage of the reality of flying as experienced by disabled people is shameful.

So much so that paraplegic TV presenter Sophie Morgan is taking the issue to the White House and Downing Street, and campaigning for laws to ensure the use of an invention that could allow passengers to stay in their wheelchairs while flying.

9pm, ITV1 Melanie is searching for her twin-sister siblings, and in doing so she discovers sad truths about her mother’s desperate life as a homeless second world war refugee from what was then Yugoslavia.

9pm, Sky Atlantic With the horribly flame-grilled Aegon laid up in bed for the foreseeable, his scheming brother Aemond has filled the royal power vacuum at King’s Landing.

Elsewhere, exiled queen Rhaenyra moves ahead with her “mad thought” of finding some unorthodox dragon riders.

10.40pm, BBC One The eccentric detective drama starring Babou Ceesay and Eve Myles continues to mix criminal psychology with macabre farce (this week, an abortive attempt to flush a severed finger down a toilet).
