A UNITED Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger became stuck in the loo during the flight.
Flight 1554 was travelling from Washington to San Francisco when the woman found herself trapped in the bathroom.
Twitter user Taylor shared a video after the plane made diverted to Denver.
In the video, staff and passengers were spotted trying to pull open the door.
She wrote: “Well folks it’s never a dull moment on @united, we have to make an “emergency landing” in Denver because a passenger got stuck in the bathroom.
“You can’t make this up…”
One of the staff said: “We’re just working on opening up the door at the moment, ma’am. We’ll get you out soon, okay?”
Taylor added: “Update: passenger got out of bathroom thanks to @DenverFireDept and is ok…we have to get on another plane now. What an adventure.”
According to CBS, five firefighters and a mechanic were needed to get her out.
Passenger Todd Wagner said the plane “erupted in applause” when she escaped while the woman looked “mortified”.
The female passenger was able to escape unharmed after an hour.
Social media users were concerned, with one woman writing: “I shouldn’t have watched this. This is one of my fears.”
Another user said: “Proof lavs have gotten too small.”
Passengers have been sharing pictures of the cramped plane toilets, showing how small they are with some people over 6ft unable to stand up straight in them.
An embarrassed couple were spotted emerging from a plane bathroom after being inside for ten minutes.
The United passengers slunk out of the toilet while others were queuing to use it.
Sun Online Travel has contacted United Airlines for comment.
