Pilot rescues passenger stuck in plane bathroom for 35 minutes

A passenger who became stuck in an aeroplane toilet for 35 minutes had to be rescued by the pilot.

A Reddit user said her husband was trapped in the bathroom on a Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City, Utah, to New Orleans, Louisiana.

She said two cabin crew and a passenger tried to free her partner from the tight space by yanking the door but it was no use - so the pilot had to step in.

The trapped passenger was finally freed after kicking the door while the pilot was pulling, the Redditor said.
