U.S. woman in airplane toilet ordeal

High-pressure vacuum flush sealed woman to toilet seat

OSLO, Jan. 21 — An American woman had no need to fasten her seatbelt on a flight from Scandinavia to the United States after a high-pressure vacuum flush sealed her to the toilet seat of the transatlantic airliner.

THE WOMAN filed a complaint with Scandinavian Airlines System after her ordeal on a Boeing 767 flight last year.

She got sucked in after pushing the flush button while seated, activating a system to clean the toilet by vacuum, the airline said on Monday.

“She could not get up by herself and had to sit on the toilet until the flight had landed so that ground technicians could help her get loose,” a SAS spokeswoman said. “She was stuck there for quite a long time.”

If she'd of opened her mouth it would have broken the seal. Probably would have cleaned her out squeaky clean too.
