There were sure to be some unhappy travelers Thursday night when a United Airlines flight had to be diverted to Anchorage due to the actions of a passenger on board.
United Airlines flight 895 from Chicago to Hong Kong had to be redirected to Anchorage Thursday due to a "passenger smearing feces everywhere", according to Ted Stevens International Airport Police.
Airport Police say the adult male smeared the excrement within a couple of bathrooms, took off his shirt and attempted to stuff it in the toilet. He was cooperative with the flight crew and was seated when the flight landed in Anchorage.
According to FlightAware.com, the plane arrived at ANC around 6:20.
The passenger was met by FBI agents and Airport Police at the plane and was interviewed by both entities. Airport Police say the subject was taken to Providence Hospital for a psych evaluation. No charges were filed.
The FBI says they're investigating the incident in conjunction with Airport Police.
Airport Operations says the Boeing 777 is grounded overnight for maintenance.
United Airlines has not yet responded to requests for comment.
I hope it was the pilot(s) who redirected the flight, otherwise the cleaning crew is going to need to sanitize those yokes...
Normally when someone starts smearing feces, its performance art. Or a chimp in a cage.
The whole plane will need an ‘airing’ out..................
A SJW I am guessing. If so, I’m sure he felt justified in his behavior. They always do. Or maybe he was simply doing performance art. On a plane. He might even be eligible for an art grant.
I hate it when that happens.
....or a Trump Protester................
I was thinking that is similar to some of the bizarre behavior that is shown by meth addicts. Stuff absolutely destroys a person’s brain.
Don't. Fly.
Performance art or refugee?
Must be one of them liberal artists plying his stock in trade.....
So he cooperated when the flight crew directed him to do that? I don't think I would have been so cooperative if so-directed by a flight crew.
"an adult male"
OK, I'll bite. An adult male WHAT? Chimp? Monkey? Certainly not a human.
The "romance of travel" won't return until there are commercial flights available to Mars and other extra-terrestrial destinations.
Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
‘Airport Police say the adult male...’
Adult male what? Chimpanzee? The lack of a name or any descriptor tells me this perp was either an African or a Muslim, or both. Why are they protecting his identity?
People used to dress up in their Sunday best to fly.
Now it’s PJ’s and fuzzy house slippers...............
Perhaps they need to start putting ejection seats in these airliners? That way, you won’t have to compromise the schedules of the rest of the passengers.
From Chicago to Hong Kong could be anything.............
Tie them up an put in cargo hold.
If they survive................
“Now it’s PJ’s and fuzzy house slippers...............”
Sweats baby! And change into business clothes 1/2 before landing.
My grandpa worked in a nuthouse. He said that playing with and eating poop is common among crazy people.
