What About Airplanes Makes People Lose Their Fucking Minds? – Woman on Southwest Airlines Flight Stripped Down Naked & Took a Shit on Her Seat in The Middle of The Flight
The Latin Times - Flight 418 from Philadelphia to Chicago's Midway Airport was already part of a turbulent stretch for Southwest Airlines, which has faced a series of high-profile disruptions, including a recent engine fire in Houston.
Chaos broke out onboard when a woman removed her clothes and defecated on her seat during the flight, according to NBC Chicago. Southwest Airlines later confirmed that law enforcement and medical teams met the plane upon landing in Chicago to respond to "a situation involving a customer."
Out of caution, the aircraft was immediately taken out of service for deep cleaning. The airline has since apologized to passengers for the disturbing incident and the resulting delays.
"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."
Affected travelers were rebooked on other flights, though Southwest has not said whether refunds or compensation will be offered.
Pretty much every day, you can open a website like the NY Post, or The Latin Times, or Barstool Sports and find some article about an airplane passenger doing something fucking insane. For some reason that moves the needle on the internet. I've always said I think someone could launch a profitable internet content company solely based around psychotic airplane/airport behavior. Throw in all of public transportation (busses, trains, subways, etc.), and you may have a whole media empire on your hands.
I heard Brandon Walker mention this story on Mostly Sports this week, and his response was, "Yeehaw. I fly all the time and I never see anything like this. Where in the shucks is this even happening?" (paraphrased). Jokingly implying that he thinks these stories are fake. That there's no way actual shit like this is happening on commercial flights so frequently.
I've always chalked it up to people playing fast and lose with the generally accepted rules of sobriety when traveling via plane. A lot of people have anxiety when it comes to flying, so they're quicker to take drugs they might not normally take. Drugs they probably aren't used to being on, but a friend assured them if they took the pill an hour before their flight they'd be knocked out for the perfect amount of time.
But then their flight gets delayed 2 hours. Since they don't want to fall asleep in the terminal, they go and order a coffee from the bar. Which helps them power through the drug's initial wave of tiredness and reach its "feels awesome" stage (because the hypothetical drug this hypothetical person took acts like a 1980's Quaalude, and real life works exactly like Wolf of Wall Street). At that point they remember alcohol is also socially acceptable at any time of day in the airport, so they throw back a vodka soda or four. All of the sudden they black out, and when they come to they're butt ass naked in the middle of their flight with shit pouring out of their ass.
Or something along those lines idk. I've never seen anything like that happen, but whenever I read a story like this I imagine it's something like that, that went down.
On the other hand, according to FAA.gov, approximately 2.9 million people fly in and out of United States airports every day. 2.9 million people is a lot of people. That's more people than live in the city of Chicago. Idk where exactly I can find the statistics on this, but I'd guess at least 1 in every 2.9 million people takes a wild shit in a wildly inappropriate place at least once a day. So maybe it's not that crazy. I know worse stuff than that happens in Chicago on a daily basis. And on airplanes where people have nothing else to do but people watch, and there's authorities everywhere, if a person does some off-the-wall shit, they're probably not just going to fly under the radar.
But on the other, other hand… maybe Brandon Walker is onto something. Maybe there's more to these stories than meets the eye. I don't think they're completely fictional. There's more than enough well-documented evidence of people losing their minds on airplanes. But I got to thinking… maybe these people are plants. Maybe it's all part of an ongoing war between the big airlines. Say American Airlines has a bad couple weeks of press. What better way to get the stink off of them than by sending an agent of chaos to take a dump on Southwest Airlines Flight 418. Then to get the story off of Southwest, Southwest sends a man to jack off on a Spirit flight. Spirit sends a woman to hang sleeve on Delta. Delta retaliates by poisoning Spirits coffee. Spirit makes some baggage mysteriously disappear from Frontier. Frontier stages a 10 person knife fight back on Spirit. Spirit gets fed up with always being the fucking punching bag, they overreact, and that's how 9/11 happens. It's all just one big, never ending pissing match between our country's biggest airlines.
Right now it's Southwest who's on the ropes. Whoever's got them in their crosshairs are playing with fire. Literally. On a flight from El Paso to Houston on Wednesday, a passenger's "cell phone battery" burst into flames,
WFAA – EL PASO, Texas — A Wednesday morning Southwest flight had to turn around before take-off due to a passenger's cell phone catching fire, the airline confirmed.
Southwest Airlines Flight 2112 was bound for Houston's Hobby Airport from El Paso International Airport. During the flight's departure taxi at about 7:50 a.m., the battery inside a passenger's cell phone ignited, according to Southwest and the FAA.
The Dallas-based airline says the flight crew was able to quickly put the flame out, and the flight returned to its gate. Passengers disembarked the flight normally and were accommodated on another plane, according to Southwest.
Days later a plane leaving Houston was forced into an emergency landing after an engine fire.

Now it's on Southwest to get the heat off them and onto a competitor. When you have a flight with an in-seat shitter, and two mid-air fires in one week, you can't just sit back and take it like a bitch. Somebody has to pay. Don't be surprised if Spirit Airlines faces a real life Snakes On A Plane situation in the upcoming weeks.
