According to NBC News, Southwest Airlines Flight 418 departed from Philadelphia and arrived at Chicago Midway International Airport on Saturday, April 26. At one point during the flight, one of the female passengers stripped off her clothes and pooped on her seat.
As a result, law enforcement and medical personnel arrived at the Chicago airport to meet the flight and the woman. At this time, however, it is unclear what happened with the woman after the plane landed. The plane, however, was briefly taken out of service to be cleaned.
Southwest Airlines shared a statement shortly after the incident. In it, the airline reported that police and medical personnel responded to "a situation involving a customer."
"Our teams are reaching out to those onboard to apologize for the situation and any delays to their travel plans," the statement reads. "Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of our customers and employees, and we appreciate the professionalism of our flight crew."
Similar Plane Incident
This bizarre incident comes almost two months after a female passenger ran in the buff down a Southwest airplane in Houston. According to ACB 13, the woman allegedly stripped off her clothes inside the plane. She acted in this bizarre way for about 25 minutes. Eventually, the plane was forced to return to a William P. Hobby Airport gate.
Upon returning to the gate, the Houston Police Department took the woman away to be medically evaluated. However, it wasn't clear if she was to face charges as a result of her in the buff episode. Southwest Airlines, however, issued a statement, apologizing to passengers for the flight's delay.
"Local law enforcement met Flight 733 from Houston to Phoenix Monday afternoon after it returned to the gate because of a customer situation onboard," the airline said. "We've reached out to customers to apologize for the delay and appreciate their patience as our teams worked to get them to their destinations as quickly as possible."
