[QUOTE="Hyaenidae, post: 29088039, member: 530392"] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/AnRkjbq.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=5]An overweight passenger had to be hoisted out of his first-class seat after realizing he was stuck when the plane landed. The man was reportedly "mortified" at the situation, which unfolded in front of hundreds of people disembarking following a six-and-a-half-hour British Airways flight on Sunday morning. Seated in 1A for the duration of the trip from Nigeria to London, the passenger is said to have enjoyed the food, wine and comfort of the £7,000 suite - until it was time to get up. When the plane landed at Heathrow at 5am, he realized he was trapped in his seat and would need assistance to leave the plane. Members of the flight crew sprang into action to free the man while keeping him "calm" throughout. [URL='https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/23252377/tubby-ba-passenger-stuck-first-class-lifted-hoist/']The Sun[/URL] reports that an engineering note written during the incident reads: “A volumetric passenger is stuck in seat 1A. The plan is to remove the suite door and use a hoist to eject [him] from the seat.” "Volumetric" in this context appears to be a euphemism for overweight. A British Airways insider said the ordeal "sounded funny" but passengers felt "sorry" for the man who was clearly "mortified" by the "abject humiliation". "It’s astonishing because the seats are the most spacious available," they told the Sun. "It was as embarrassing as it can get for him — especially when a door in the cabin had to be removed... Crew members did all they could to calm the man.”[/SIZE] Source: [URL]https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/overweight-british-airways-passenger-hoisted-30590092[/URL] [/QUOTE]
