An Alaska Airlines flight from Anchorage to Seattle was forced to turn around and land after a naked passenger barricaded himself inside the plane’s toilet.
A fellow passenger on board the flight, Kate Danyluk, told the Associated Press she “knew something was amiss when flight attendants kept walking up and down the aisle and put on rubber gloves.”

“There was a subject on the aircraft that had barricaded or locked himself in the bathroom, the lavatory,” airport police Sgt. Darcy Perry told KTVA-TV. “Flight attendants did find that the subject was naked.”
According to the Associated Press, police and the FBI met the plane when it re-landed at Anchorage, with passenger Kate Danyluk revealing, “The police came on and took him out the back door.”
