Passenger Kicked Off Delta Flight After Urgent Restroom Trip

A passenger's quick trip to the restroom on a Milwaukee-bound flight was seen as a security threat by Delta personnel.

Kima Hamilton was traveling solo when the plane he was on taxied to the runway, passengers were told they were third in line and to remain seated. After waiting for half an hour, Hamilton couldn't stand it and had to use the lavatory.

"We weren't taking off. We were still. The plane isn't moving," he said.

A flight attendant told him that they would lose their place in line if he used the restroom, so he went back to his seat. Following another lengthy wait, Hamilton couldn't take and hurried to take care of business.

That's when the plane returned to the gate and Hamilton was approached by two Delta agents.

Delta released the following statement: "Our flight crews are extensively trained to ensure the safety and security of all customers. It is imperative that passengers comply with crew instructions during all phases of flight, especially at the critical points of takeoff and landing."
