That was totally unnecessary.................
I can sympathize. I took a flight with my elderly mom who had to use the restroom so bad I truly believed she was at the point where she could no longer hold it. The flight attendants were unrelenting. My mom managed to hold it barely long enough before being given permission to use the restroom but she was in great discomfort.

when you have to go YOU HAVE TO GO
Dang —> “Once off the plane, Hamilton was refunded half the price for his ticket and repurchased a ticket more than three times the price on Southwest Airlines, according to TMJ4. Delta was unable to get his luggage off their flight, and Hamilton was asked to pick it up in Milwaukee.”
When you got to go, you got to go.
I figured he was a “son of Obama,” and I was right.
If this person has diabetes, then it’s not a question of when. It’s now.
One time I drank a pint of beer before boarding an airplane. I swear I will never do that again.
And if he had an ‘accident’ in his seat he still would have been thrown off because of fouling the seat with contaminants. Yep. Either way he would have lost.
Thems the rules
Time to institute a “Does anybody have to go?” moment before leaving the gate. Especially if the plane’s been sitting for any length of time. It would just be common courtesy, IMO.
NO ONE HAS ANY COMMON SENSE ANY MORE
At least he understood that was a fight he couldn’t win.
Before boarding a flight, I’ve always made sure to make my children go to the bathroom. Perhaps this guy decided he did not need to take this precaution. As it was, he caused the flight to lose its place in the takeoff queue — affecting all the other passengers on his flight, the flight crew and potentially folks on connecting flights.
There’s no reason to think he wouldn’t do it again the next time they were in queue. The pilot did the right thing.
This is a tough one.
His mistake was not going sooner, before the plane was moving.
An airline will get in trouble if they are moving on the ground, or taking off or landing, and passengers are not seated with seat belts.
I have little sympathy for this passenger or the other people mentioned. Common sense dictates that you remain seated in a taxiing aircraft.
Even once the flight is holding, that time is merely an estimate, the aircraft may move earlier than stated. If you are up and moving around, and the aircraft moves unexpectedly, you may injure yourself or more importantly, other people.
If you are an adult, it is common sense to ensure you go prior to boarding. If you have bladder issues , then minimize fluid intake, or wear Depends or something similar just in case.
Prior planning prevents p-—ing on the plane.
I sense there is a lot more to the story, especially since he threw race into it. AND, its NBC “News.”
It is OK to wet yourself if your shorts are on fire. It’s like those planes dropping water on a forest fire.
I’m not making this up. There was a story yesterday about a poor guy whose shorts caught on fire at WalMart.
