- OSLO (Reuters) - An American
woman had no need to fasten her seatbelt on a flight from Scandinavia to
the United States after a high-pressure vacuum flush sealed her to the
toilet seat of the transatlantic airliner.
-
- The woman filed a complaint with Scandinavian Airlines
System (SAS) after her ordeal on a Boeing 767 flight last year. She got
sucked in after pushing the flush button while seated, activating a system
to clean the toilet by vacuum, the airline said Monday.
-
- "She could not get up by herself and had to sit
on the toilet until the flight had landed so that ground technicians could
help her get loose,'' a SAS spokeswoman told Reuters. ``She was stuck there
for quite a long time.''
