England - London - Paraplegic passenger in Heathrow Airport

A disabled airline passenger makes her own way through the Departures concourse of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. Pushing her racing wheelchair, possibly for a race in another country, the lady heads for a British Airways check-in zone before a long-haul flight to compete as a paraplegic. Pushing her possessions on an airport trolley, she speeds through the terminal showing tanned, muscular arms and a bottle of Evian mineral water. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .
