Plane Passenger's Unusual Behavior Leads to United Airlines Ban

A man found himself in a sticky situation while flying from San Francisco to Manila. He was seated in business class on United Airlines Flight 189 when another passenger decided to relieve himself—right onto him. The man, Jerome Gutierrez, was asleep when this happened. He woke up to find himself drenched from the waist down. Gutierrez had to sit in his wet clothes for the remaining eight hours of the flight. The flight attendants asked Gutierrez not to confront the man, fearing a possible violent reaction. Gutierrez's stepdaughter, Nicole Cornell, was furious with United Airlines for prioritizing the airline's needs over her stepfather's health and safety. She believed the plane should have turned around to deal with the biohazard. The man who caused the mess apologized to Gutierrez and begged him not to press charges. United Airlines confirmed the incident and announced that they had banned the passenger responsible. They met the flight with police in Manila to address the disturbance.
