High-pressure vacuum flush sealed woman to toilet seat

OSLO, Jan. 21 — An American woman had no need to fasten her seatbelt on a flight from Scandinavia to the United States after a high-pressure vacuum flush sealed her to the toilet seat of the transatlantic airliner.

THE WOMAN filed a complaint with Scandinavian Airlines System after her ordeal on a Boeing 767 flight last year.

She got sucked in after pushing the flush button while seated, activating a system to clean the toilet by vacuum, the airline said on Monday.

“She could not get up by herself and had to sit on the toilet until the flight had landed so that ground technicians could help her get loose,” a SAS spokeswoman said. “She was stuck there for quite a long time.”

I know I shouldn't make fun of another persons bad time, but this is hillarious!

While this is a funny story, I'm at a loss to figure how she could get suctioned to the toilet. Even if she was huge, there'd still be too many ways to break the vacuum.

Thanks KK. I'm gonna have this problem and image rolling around in my head all night. Couldn't you have posted a "rack" thread or something?

Should have used basic physics. Given her a plate full of beans. "For every action there is an equal reaction".....something like that..you get the picture.....
