A United Airlines flight was rerouted to a Denver airport after a passenger got stuck in the jet’s bathroom.
Flight 1554 from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco had to make a pit stop at the Denver International Airport on Wednesday night “to assist a customer who was in the lavatory when the lavatory door became inoperative,” a United Airlines spokeswoman told NBC News.
The passenger was safely freed from the bathroom once the aircraft landed. It’s not clear how long the customer was trapped.
A video posted on Twitter shows several people trying to open the jammed door. A spokesperson for the airport said the Denver Fire Department responded to the scene to assist in getting the passenger out.
One rescuer is heard in the video telling the passenger, a woman, that he would get her out soon.
United said customers were put on a different plane and have since reached their destination.
“We are reaching out to all customers onboard and the customer in the lavatory to apologize,” the spokesperson said.
