There were some anxious moments on a Wednesday evening flight from North Carolina-to-New York after the captain of the flight got stuck in the lavatory. He eventually freed himself before landing, but not before the incident sparked fears of a possible terror plot.

I can imagine- passengers see pilot enter restroom followed by sounds of a struggle followed by a comedy of errors fueled by paranoia

The pilot obviously needs more fiber in his diet.

Wouldn't you know the passenger who pounded on the cockpit door to tell them that the pilot was stuck had a strong foreign accent and it panicked the co-pilot even more.

I'm not sure I want to get on a plane with a pilot that can't operate an airplane lavatory door.

Man, that's what I was thinking. Imagine, you're sitting up there in the right seat performing your copilot duties when the captain says you've got the controls because he's going to the head. So maybe after a while you start thinking hmmm...seems like he's taking a bit longer than usual. And then someone with a thick accent is banging on the cockpit door and it sounds like he might be saying something about the captain! About that time I think I'd be needing a trip to the head.

The copilot was an idiot

The copilot was an idiot

Not anywhere near as big an idiot as you. In the circumstances, the copilot erred on the side of caution. Since when has that been a bad thing.

I know you are...but what am I?

Copilot to head flight attendant..." Go check out the lavatory and get back to me"
