Stage 4 Breast Cancer Patient Refused Entry Onto Plane To South Korea
 
Crystal Kim, 62, who has Stage 4 breast cancer and wanted to fly back to South Korea to see her family and get medical treatment before she died, was refused entry onto a Korean Air plane, even though she had a doctor's note. Kim wanted to fly from Seattle, USA, to Incheon, South Korea. Kim was not allowed to get on the plane with her daughter last Sunday...

Another discrimination case. How sad!

Glad that Delta Airline was able to fly her to Korea.

Terrible !!!!!!!!! Unfortunately some people still think cancer is contagious or they don't want to be responsible if a cancer patient gets sick while in their presence. I am glad Delta stepped up to the plate and offered her a ride.
