"An American man was forced to stand for his entire flight as a morbidly obese passenger was sitting next to him. Arthur Berkowitz, 57, was physically unable to sit properly as a 400lb man&amp;#039;s body spilled over onto his seat, reports The Mirror. Berkowitz complained that his inability to use his seatbelt represented a safety risk, with the cabin crew telling him there were no other seats. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t fly from Alaska to Philadelphia, I stood,&amp;quot; he is quoted as saying on the matter. &amp;quot;They were sympathetic, but could not do anything. No other seats existed on the plane.&amp;quot; US Airways, who flew Berkowitz from Anchorage to Philadelphia, apologised for the &amp;quot;regrettable&amp;quot; incident and offered him $200 (\u00C2\u00A3130) in compensation. However, Berkowitz said the offer was &amp;quot;inappropriate&amp;quot;, pointing out that he had paid more than $800 (\u00C2\u00A3518) for the ticket. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
