Delta Flight Crew Helps Free Passenger Trapped Inside Plane Restroom

A Delta Airlines pilot was captured kicking and wrestling with an airplane restroom door to help free a man trapped inside during a flight from Utah to Louisiana in early December.

The trapped passenger, identified as Brent, ultimately delivered the kick that opened the door, footage shows.

The passenger’s wife, Rachel, filmed this video, which shows the pilot kicking the door while flight attendants pull.

Rachel said that her husband was trapped in the bathroom for approximately 35 minutes and tried to break down the door by kicking from the inside.

A Delta Airlines spokesperson told Newsweek, “We have been in contact with the customer following this situation with an offer of apology and are investigating the situation to better understand the root cause and make any changes, as needed, to address the matter going forward.” Credit: Rachel via Storyful
