Southwest Airlines passenger 'stripped naked and pooed on seat as plane landed'

A female allegedly stripped naked and defecated on her seat as the plane she was travelling on came in to land. The alarm was raised at Chicago's Midway Airport on Saturday after the 418 from Philadelphia touched down on the tarmac. As it hit the runway, the woman allegedly removed all of her clothes and emptied her bowels on a plane seat.

In a statement to NBC, said it was in the process of contacting passengers to discuss the disgusting incident. It read: "Our teams are reaching out to those onboard to apologize for the situation and any delay to their travel planes. Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of our customers and employees, and we appreciate the professionalism of our flight crew."

They didn't provide any additional detail about what happened to the passenger and whether police took any further action.

A source with knowledge of the situation said that the plane was taken out of service to be cleaned.

Back in 2023, a Delta Airlines flight was forced to turn back after someone suffered a case of catastrophic diarrhoea. A passenger on board later claimed that it "dribbled down the aisle".

The Delta flight was just two hours into its journey from Atlanta, US, to Barcelona, Spain, when the pilot made the decision to turn the plane around and fly back to Atlanta claiming there was a "medical issue" onboard.

In an audio transmission from the flight deck posted on by an aviation enthusiast, the pilot of Flight DL194 said: “This is a biohazard issue. We’ve had a passenger who’s had diarrhoea all the way through the aeroplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta.”

According to someone who claimed their partner was on the plane, the person behind the faecal explosion had to be carried off the flight by emergency services once the plane had landed.

Commenting under news of the fiasco on X, Dee W said: "My partner was on that flight! It was pretty bad. It was dribbled down the aisle, smelled horrible. The vanilla scented disinfectant used on it only made it smell like vanilla s***. After the plane landed, it was thoroughly cleaned. They didn’t leave until around 2.30am"

The plane was cleaned, with one passenger reporting the carpets had to be ripped up, and flew to Barcelona the next day. It didn't get in until 5pm, eight hours later than it was scheduled to arrive.
