In a recent incident that has drawn attention, a man was removed from a Delta Airlines flight bound for Milwaukee after he attempted to use the restroom while waiting for takeoff. Kimo Anderson, feeling an urgent need to relieve himself during a lengthy 30-minute tarmac delay, took action that many might understand.
According to sources from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the flight was in a queue for takeoff when passengers were instructed to remain seated. However, when it became clear that the takeoff was delayed, Anderson felt he could take a quick trip to the restroom without repercussions. “We weren’t moving. The plane was still,” he explained.
Initially, a flight attendant advised him against using the facilities, citing that it would mean losing their place in line. After struggling to hold on, Anderson decided he could no longer wait and made a quick dash to the bathroom. This is when things escalated. A Delta staff member confronted him, and fellow passenger Lisa Moreno began recording the interaction, emphasizing that Anderson didn’t appear threatening and seemed friendly.
When asked to leave, Anderson calmly questioned why he was being removed, stating, “I have a ticket. I had an emergency. I tried to hold it.” Despite his polite demeanor and the understandable nature of his situation, he was ultimately asked to exit the plane. “It was clear I was seen as a problem,” he remarked, noting that FBI agents were waiting for him upon his departure. Fortunately, he was not arrested, but he had to purchase a new ticket—at a significantly higher price—on a different airline just to make it home in time for work.
The entire event delayed the flight by over an hour and highlighted a growing trend of airlines lacking compassion towards passengers. As Anderson noted, “I don’t usually go to the bathroom right before boarding.” This situation raises questions about the policies in place and the humanity we expect from airlines.
