A man was unable to get out of the cramped toilet cubicle of the plane during a domestic flight in India from Mumbai to Bangalore on Tuesday. Only after landing could he be freed.
SpiceJet arranged the flight, which provoked quite a few jokers on the internet with references to spicy food and its possible consequences: “Too much curry, perhaps?”. But for the passenger who was locked in the airplane toilet, it was all a bit less funny. He was stuck in the booth for more than an hour of the 1 hour and 40 minute flight.
The crew was unable to free the man. He also had to undergo the landing in the toilet. Moments before, a flight attendant slipped a note under the door for the unfortunate man. “Sir, we tried our best to open the door, but we couldn’t. Don’t panic, we’ll land in a few minutes. Lower the toilet seat, sit on it and buckle up. As soon as the main door of the aircraft opens, an engineer comes on board.”
And so it happened. According to a newspaper, the passenger was “in shock” after being freed from the toilet on Tuesday morning. He received immediate medical attention, according to SpiceJet, which provided no further details about the man. The airline did say that the passenger will be fully reimbursed for the inconvenience, which they regret.
