A Southwest Airlines flight was met by law enforcement upon landing in Chicago due to what the airline called “a situation involving a passenger.”
Medical personnel joined the police in responding to the scene due to reports of a passenger stripping naked and defecating in her seat.
Southwest released a statement, apologizing for the unfortunate incident that likely left other passengers appalled.
Per NBC:
A source with knowledge of the situation told NBC News the passenger had removed her clothing and defecated on the seat, forcing the plane to be taken out of service for cleaning.
“Our Teams are reaching out to those onboard to apologize for the situation and any delays to their travel plans,” the airline said in a statement. “Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of our customers and employees, and we appreciate the professionalism of our flight crew.”
The incident follows a series of flight-related troubles for airlines.
Southwest announced this month it will reduce its capacity later this year as it expects revenue to dip. The airline is also just one month away from shifting its long-held policies and charging passengers for checked baggage.
It is unclear what caused the passenger to “lose her sh*t.”
In another incident on a Southwest flight last month, a woman was transported to a mental clinic after she also stripped naked and had a mental breakdown, running up and down the aisle of the plane, screaming and jumping. However, unlike the woman in the most recent case, she did not leave anything behind.
