Flight Grounded As Passenger Rages About Not Being Allowed To Use First Class Toilet

A plane in the US had to make an emergency landing after a passenger who was denied access to the first class toilet flew into a fury.

Footage from on board the Alaska Airlines flight shows the unnamed man raging about having to queue for the standard class toilet while the first class toilet was supposedly unoccupied.

The man reportedly became more and more aggressive, threatening to physically assault another passenger, with the pilot ultimately forced to ground the flight from New York in Kansas City - more than 1,570 miles short of destination, Los Angeles.

Upon making the emergency landing, the man was arrested and escorted off the plane by police as other passengers applauded.

In a clip shared on Instagram by another passenger, the man can be heard saying: "You wrong. By making seven people wait here to use the bathroom, while the whole bathroom up there is empty, it's wrong.

"They rather let the bathroom be empty up there and let eight people wait in line to use the bathroom while two bathrooms are empty in the front.

"He's going to come to me telling me he'll call the police - call the motherf*****g police. Call 'em. Call 'em. Call 'em."

Well, wish granted there pal.

But if the above had been the extent of his complaint, there's a chance the flight could have proceeded as planned and everybody could have got to LA on time - rather than four hours behind schedule. However, the bloke had no intention of ending his rant, as he himself made abundantly clear.

He said: "I'm not gonna stop complaining while I'm waiting in line, 'cause there's two empty bathrooms in the front. I'm not gonna stop complaining and I'm gonna slap the s*** outta this n*****.

"So it don't matter to me, you do what you wanna do. Know what I'm saying, you can play it how you wanna play it. You still wrong. You're still 1000 percent wrong.

"I paid my money, I ain't here for free, I ain't flying for free. I paid the same money everybody else got. But you gonna tell me I gotta wait for six people while up there's empty? A bathroom is a bathroom. That's the bottom line."

It's hard to argue with the gentleman's point that 'a bathroom is a bathroom', and I'm sure we can all empathise with the stress of queuing for a loo when you really need a dump, but he didn't need to kick up such a stink, did he?
