Southwest Flight Diverted After Passenger Defecates

A Southwest Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Chicago Midway was met by police and medical personnel after a female passenger stripped naked and defecated on her seat as the plane landed. The incident occurred on Flight 418 and led to the aircraft being removed from service for deep cleaning, causing delays for other passengers. Southwest Airlines apologized for the disruption and commended its crew for professionalism, reiterating its commitment to safety. The woman's identity and whether she was arrested or hospitalized remain unclear. This incident follows a recent string of disruptive passenger episodes, including another case involving a woman removing her clothes on a different Southwest flight.
