You should have read the entire thread before commenting. This unfortunate woman WAS able to fit in economy-class seating a month earlier. Returning, her health had deteriorated to the point where she wouldn't fit in any seat (coach or first class). Not the airlines' fault, but a tragedy for her nonetheless.
She could have taken a train to Germany (or driven as others have suggested) if she felt the medical care in Hungary wasn't of sufficiently high standard. My guess is she could have fit into F but was too cheap to pay for it. And paid the ultimate price. Now to be fair Euro Business class is often just a row of coach with the middle seat blocked off. But there are still bulkheads.
If you can't fit into a bulkhead with the arms up then you probably shouldn't be flying. Just as some mentally ill people should not fly. It is not for everyone. No reason to sue the airline.
