Ryanair Refuses To Refund Hero Passenger Injured During Cambridgeshire Train Stabbing
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Simple Flying.
These two paragraphs add details to the story.
Ryanair has doubled down on its decision not to issue a refund for a passenger injured while risking his life to stop a mass stabbing assailant. Stephen Crean, 61, suffered stab wounds as he fought a knife-wielding man attacking passengers on a train, leaving his unable to catch his Ryanair flight to Austria.
The Irish ultra-low-cost carrier has responded to the public outrage, insisting that all of its fares are non-refundable and advising customers to pay for travel insurance. However, many are calling on the airline to make an exceptional case for Crean.
I feel Ryanair have been very mean.
In fact, I feel Ryanair could have used the story for a bit of free advertising.
Because of the fact, that my ongoing medical condition; uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease could flare up at any time and I might need the toilet urgently, I wouldn’t fly Ryanair, as they might put restrictions on access to the facilities, between my booking and the flight.
The Anonymous Widower 
O’Leary doesn’t look upon their passengers as humans. To him they are cargo and consequently, doesn’t give a đź’©đź’©about them.
