A passenger on a United Airlines flight claimed he was forcibly dragged from an airplane bathroom with his pants down by a pilot who broke the lock of the door for taking too long.
Yisroel Liebb, 20, was on the first leg of his journey home to New Jersey with the airline, but was led away in handcuffs when they landed in Houston after a humiliating ordeal caused him to be ripped from the airplane bathroom with his genitals exposed.
Liebb said he suffered physical injuries, extreme emotional distress and anxiety, and in the complaint obtained by The Independent, he added that he felt 'sexually violated and embarrassed after having been publicly expose in the nude.'
The passenger said he had got up from his seat to use the toilet about half an hour into the journey from Tulum, Mexico to Houston, where he was then scheduled for a connecting flight to New York.
Around 20 minutes later, a flight attendant woke up Liebb's neighbor and fellow traveler Jacob Sebbag to check on Liebb.
Sebbag, 21, knocked on the door and asked if Liebb was alright, to which he replied that he was 'experiencing constipation' and would be out shortly, The Independent reported.
The complaint states that 'Sebbag relayed this to the stewardess and returned to his seat.'
Yet, 10 minutes later the pilot approached Sebbag and asked that he join him to 'once again try and get Liebb out,' the complaint added.

How long did this happen before they were due to land?
does being assigned your own private seat cost more?
I told you. I gotta go. And when you gotta go, you gotta go. So get over it and chill the F^*k out. Drag me outta the sh!tter with my skivvies down! Well, that’s an entirely different level now.
Exactly. You try, and you get up and leave. You drink some water or eat something greasy, and try again later. If something got stuck, you make a manpon for the interim and try again later. Kudos to the pilot for taking action here.
Before everyone goes off half cocked, remember this is only one side of the story and it is of the “victim”. Of course they are going to put forward the most sympathetic story. It may turn out that what they claim is exactly what happened or it may be BS and overdramatized. I’ll wait for the full story.
understood.
the one airline that super-screwed its passengers is Spirit.
(Zero notice of cancelling service even tho they knew months ahead they were dropping it. Left fully=booked and paid customers in the lurch with their luggage at the departure gate with no Spirit personnel. BNever offered or sent a refund when requested. Cost over $2000 to replace the ticket on another airline. I would sooner take a bus than trust Spirit again, and I am sure that is a sentiment shared by the other jilted passengers.) United has been pretty good in the past for us, as has Delta. Best airline we flew was Air Canada.
Making a hemorrhoid?
United has been very good to us. The bashing is unnecessary at this time in my opinion. I mean major media outlets giving Ilya one very questionable side
I don’t fly with anyone other than majors rn. Delta I was advised to use last year by a liberal cousin - fly delta they’re diverse
No
How about no
I had a good friend who flew w delta-pilot. During that time I would fly delta. Not now
They guy was having bowel issues. His mistake was apparently in not communicating that.
Um, yes, First Class on international flights can be very costly. Many of these ultra-Orthodox Jews are all on welfare. They don't work. They're certainly not buying First Class tickets.
They're also very objectionable as to who is seated next to them on flights, as anyone who works in the air travel industry can attest.
I was on a plane and a woman declared she had to go as we were about to land and she stayed in there during the landing.
yes
we would certainly try flying United again, it was pretty good when we flew it some years ago
rn, we try to avoid airports altogether (what with all the garbage going on nowadays)
so far, we’ve been lucky .... smiles smiles
I meant the private seat with the door that closes.
“Here’s what I think happened.
I’d bet money he was seated next to someone he didn’t want to be, a woman perhaps, asked to be reseated and was told no.
As soon as the plane reached cruising altitude and the seatbelt sign went off (typically about 30 minutes into the flight), he decided he’d spend the remainder of his flight seated in the lavatory.
Some of these ultra-Orthodox Jews are very demanding. “
That would explain the outburst from the pilot on his Jewish faith and you are probably correct.
Even Muslims are not this bad. If they have to sit next to a female they are not related to they just don’t talk or make eye contact with her. The UO Jews have hissy fits.
He wasnt suffering from diarrhea, he wasn't shtt8ng himself.
You can play in the bathroom at the airport as long as you want.
after 20 minutes and being asked t9 get out several times, it's time to stop being nice. He FAFO.
The article we saw yesterday mentioned constipation, not diarrhea.
There's more than one toilet aren't there?
He was in the bathroom for 30 minutes. You can’t go in 30 minutes. You are not going to go.
I didn’t not believe I have ever heard it phrased that way before, Morganza.
