When one insane woman allegedly stripped down to her birthday suit and defecated on her seat, passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Chicago received more than peanuts.
Southwest Airlines acknowledged that law enforcement and medical experts were called in for “a situation involving a customer,” confirming the strange drama on Flight 418.
However, according to the gut-wrenching report, the passenger’s behavior compelled the plane to be taken out of service for a thorough cleaning.
In a statement, the airline added, “Our Teams are reaching out to those onboard to apologize for the situation and any delays to their travel plans.”
“The safety of our customers and employees is our top priority, and we value the professionalism of our flight crew.”
A recent string of strange in-flight problems coincides with this incidence.
On Monday, a woman undressed in front of shocked passengers on a Southwest flight from Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport to Phoenix.
The unnamed woman was seen exposing her breasts while gyrating in front of the Boeing 737’s cabin in footage captured by Beast Games competitor Macy Estevez and initially released by ABC13.
According to Estevez, she kept parading on board for almost 30 minutes before the police intervened and took her into custody.
The woman was taken away by the Houston Police Department for medical evaluations, but the department did not disclose whether charges will be filed.
Southwest Airlines apologized to passengers for the strange inconvenience and acknowledged the occurrence in a statement.
“Due to a customer issue on board, Flight 733 from Houston to Phoenix returned to the gate Monday afternoon, and local law enforcement met up with it,” the statement said.
“We’ve contacted customers to express our regret for the wait and to thank them for their patience while our teams tried to get them to their destinations as soon as possible.”
The woman reportedly yelled that she was bipolar and asked to be taken off the plane during her stunt, but it is unclear exactly what caused her outburst on Monday.
According to KHOU11, passengers also claimed that the woman attempted to access the cockpit during the incident before being taken into custody.
“She turned around facing us and stripped all of her clothes off,” an airline passenger told the site about the incident.
Then, in full front of the horrified onlookers, the rowdy woman began yelling and moving up and down the aisle.
The woman was seen running up and down the aisle while yelling, “wait, wait, wait,” in separate video that was provided to 12News.
The passenger stated that she then started to move back towards the front of the aircraft and began pounding on the doors of the cockpit, yelling for permission to enter. “It was quite frightening when it first happened.”
If a passenger ever finds themselves in a similar situation, experts advised KHOU11 that they should maintain composure, move away from the disruptive individual, and only step in if directed by staff or if absolutely necessary.
However, the witness claimed that she was taken aback by the staff’s and authorities’ inaction while the woman continued to rant for about thirty minutes.
“Very strange that no one sort of stepped in,” she remarked. “Everyone just let her run on and on, kind of realizing the situation.”
When the woman was removed from the aircraft, a gate worker allegedly wrapped her in a blanket.
