His wife could have pushed him———easier than crawling on the floor.

People should read the article. It says that his wife is under medical treatment so that she can't push a wheelchair.

Might as well cut to the chase. According to the article, this specific battery has been cleared for air travel and during flight is stored in carry on baggage. He cleared all this with United prior to the flight, but when Canadian security stopped him a United flunky denied that and sided with the ignorant security guy. Must be as bad as our TSA.

United: What class is this ticket, sir? Beat-down, crawl on the floor or thrown off the plane?

The article claims she can't push him in a wheel chair because of back pain.

If he did have the "not permitted for air travel" batteries like the price cited in the article suggests than he's SOL.

Put him on a blankie and push him across the floor. I can see it now ...
