Mr Keogh, who has a spinal injury following a construction accident, told BBC News NI he was not able to wait for an hour for assistance disembarking the plane as he was in pain after the flight and needed to use the bathroom. He was travelling with his brother who offered to carry him down the stairs but Mr Keogh declined as he felt that would be too dangerous."If he fell we would have both been hurt so I had to bunny-hop down myself."
