Deaf flyers sue San Francisco Airport for access violations
San Francisco, April 17, 2002 -- For Colin Pitrowski, the San Francisco Airport is a continual nightmare. Gates are switched; he never finds out. He's paged but can't respond. Although the airport just completed a $84 million renovation, it did not bother with TTD machines, with visual boarding signs, with the numerous things it was required by law to do to make its airport accessible to deaf travelers like Pitrowski. So he and other deaf travelers sued.
