Limbless woman sues airline

A British woman is suing Air France in a New York court, saying an employee told her she could not board a flight from the UK because she had no limbs.

Adele Price, 42, of Mansfield, Notts, who was born with birth defects caused by the leprosy treatment drug thalidomide, said at a news conference the employee told her that “one head, one bottom and one torso cannot and will not be allowed to fly on Air France” without help.
