A Katrina of One

A 72 year old minister from Kansas goes to Orlando for a gospel conference. After landing in Orlando he isn't feeling well and asks for assistance. They bring him a wheelchair, roll him out to the taxi area and leave him.
He sits there, UNNOTICED [1], unattended, for three days! At a major airport!
Outrageous!
What's wrong? How many travelers walked by this man, not seeing, in a hurry to get to Disney, Sea World, whatever? Was it because he was an elderly black man in a wheelchair?
And how many employees ignored this man, not my job, wanting to clock out? Where was Homeland Security? Apparently, there is no security paying attention at OIA.
Please, people, care about those around you! Take a moment, look around, does someone need help? Have patience with the elderly. You may be in their shoes some day.
