HuffPost
A viral video showed Gabrielle deFiebre in tears over her damaged wheelchair — but the problem goes much deeper.
There’s much more to a viral video that left millions of people heartbroken. Last month, model and wheelchair user Bri Scalesse posted a TikTok that received over 16 million views. The video showed her friend Gabrielle deFiebre, a 32-year-old quadriplegic, crying after she flew from New York City to Phoenix on May 21 because Delta broke the wheels of her chair. DeFiebre told HuffPost via email that airlines typically transfer a wheelchair user from their chairs into a plane seat, and then check their chairs into cargo for the flight.More Related News
