He explained that the staff at Heathrow were "extremely apologetic." The official Heathrow account replied to Flanagan's tweet saying: "We are sorry to hear that your wheelchair was damaged in transit to Heathrow and understand how distressing this would have been. Once our teams were made aware of what had happened on arrival at Heathrow, they did their best to assist with your onward journey. We will work with the airline and the origin airport as a priority to investigate how the damage occurred and how it can be avoided in the future," it continued. Please do get in touch if we can be of any assistance with any future travel through Heathrow. However, Flanagan who said "an apology does very little for" him the difficulties the replacement wheelchair he was given is providing. "I was given an oversized airport wheelchair, filled out a claim form, and sent on my way. I can barely push myself in this new chair and simple tasks like getting around my hotel room are extremely tough. And now I have to fly to Tokyo. "This is not something that can happen to wheelchair uses. It's unacceptable. Both airlines and baggage handlers need to pay more attention to chairs. My chair is my independence and takes months to be fitted and ordered. Mine is specifically sized to support my back, is lightweight so I can lift it into the car, and is extremely sturdy. It would not be damaged easily. Flanagan will swim in the S6 100m backstroke and 400m freestyle for Team Ireland an update later on Saturday saying that he was having a replacement chair flown out. "But not all wheelchair users are lucky enough to have a spare. The point remains the same, this should never happen he said.
