TikToker Stranded On Empty Plane After United Airlines Loses Her Wheelchair

TikToker Stranded On Empty Plane After United Airlines Loses Her Wheelchair

TikTok user @kindofaquad found herself stranded in her seat on an empty United Airlines flight after the airline lost her wheelchair.

There are some common travel nightmares: bedbugs in the hotel, plane mechanical issues, a crying baby.

But then there is a travel nightmare unfortunately shared by many wheelchair users. The airline company loses and/or destroys your wheelchair and you can’t leave the plane.


This is what happened to TikTok user @kindofaquad, who introduced herself as Karah. She posted a video of her being stuck on a plane after United Airlines lost her wheelchair.

“Welcome to another episode of United loses my chair.”

Thanks to her forethought of attaching an Apple Airtag to her wheelchair, it was eventually located.

But only because of the Airtag.

You can see Karah's video here:

@kindofaquad

@united yall got me allll sorts of fucked up today. what the absolute fuck is wrong with y’all?

Karah shared a follow-up to answer questions.

@kindofaquad

Replying to @brian_pittborn the air tags saved me a few hours, thankfully it still doesn’t help when the agents don’t look at the tags on the chairs 😅 #airtag #airlinesarentaccessible #justplanewrong

The comments started out with a common-sense suggestion for airlines.

Seriously though, wheelchairs are expensive pieces of medical equipment.

Others had suggestions, although mostly not-flying.

And if you don't want to drive and are going between large cities, well, there's sometimes the train.

At the very least, this incident really proved attaching an AirTag to your wheelchair is a good thing to do, just for the—unfortunately likely—probability this will happen.

Video Of Little Boy Sobbing After Finding Out Trump Is A Real Person Goes Viral—And We Totally Get It

Whether it was Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or some other important facet of childhood, most of us found out when we were kids that something we loved did not exist, and it was absolutely devastating and world-changing.

But imagine there being something that you deeply disliked or feared, only for you to find out that it actually exists on the same plane and in the same timeline as you.

Woman Stunned After Best Friend Of 23 Years Ends Friendship Over Her 'Mom Shorts'

We will all have friends who come into our lives for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. There are those situational friendships, like from work or school, that dissolve when we exit that space, and there are friendships that might form from knowing the same people.

Then there are those tried-and-true friendships that we think will truly stand the test of time—but even those sometimes fracture under pressure. And sometimes for the most ridiculous reasons.

56-Year-Old Man Leaves The Internet In Shock After Showing Off His Mexican Facelift

Between constant conversations about generations not looking their age, and a resurgence of "skinnytok" and "beautytok," there's this renewed pressure for everyone to look their best, for them to refresh their look, and most importantly, to look a decade younger than they actually are.

Stories have been circulating about Americans going to Mexico, specifically Guadalajara, in search of quality and affordable plastic surgery to give them a fresh look, but patients are walking away looking much younger than you might expect.
