United flight diverted to free passenger trapped in bathroom
(CNN) — A United Airlines flight was diverted to Denver, Colorado, Wednesday night to free a passenger stuck in the bathroom. "The lavatory door became inoperative" during Flight 1554 from Washington, DC to San Francisco, according to a United Airlines statement. A female passenger was trapped inside. In Denver, "the passenger was safely removed from the lavatory after landing, and customers have since continued on to their destination on a new aircraft," the airline said. (www.cnn.com) More...
Considering the flight arrived only 2:22 minutes after its scheduled time, she couldn’t tough it out in there for another hour and just let the flight continue on? Hardly an emergency.
Having a solo seat in the can is almost Economy Plus these days!

if memory serves me right,those lavs are about the size of a small linen closet!you barely have room to pull things down or unzip in order to reach the "potty"!the door latches however,are pretty flimsy and hitting it hard seemingly would do the trick..probably the lady panicked!heck,you might even have enough room,(if you did it just right)to kick the door open..ual couldnt possibly charge her for aircraft damage!
Denver Approach, be advised we are requesting a diversion to KDEN due to a mechanical issue.
Do you have an emergency United 1554?
Not in the strictest definition, Denver Approach. Apparently, we have a passenger trapped in the Crapper.
You advise a passenger trapped in the Crapper?
Affirmative Approach.
