AIR PASSENGER STUCK IN BATHROOM FOR ENTIRE FLIGHT

On Tuesday, a SpiceJet passenger got trapped in the plane’s lavatory for nearly the entire flight. The budget airline said the man went in shortly after takeoff, but then the door wouldn’t open due to a lock malfunction, trapping the passenger inside. The flight was a 90-minute night flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru. The crew and other passengers attempted to free the flyer from outhouse arrest, but to no avail. At one point, a crew member slid a note under the door saying, “Do not panic. We are landing in a few minutes, so please close the commode lid and sit on it and secure yourself. As soon as the main door is open, an engineer will come.” They landed, and two engineers boarded the aircraft and broke open the door, after which the man received “immediate medical support.”
* What, a lung transplant and cream for the body rash?
* And it was an Indian airline so, you know… Indian food.
* On the up side, two lucky passengers didn’t have to share an armrest.
* And besides, in the lavatory, there’s actually more leg room.
* A malfunctioning door locking you in the bathroom. Better or worse than having a section of the fuselage blow out during the flight? Let’s open the phones.
