***** ******* handler falls asleep in hold, accidentally flies to Chicago

CHICAGO — Some people just can’t handle their liquor.

****** say a ******* handler told them he was ***** when he fell asleep in a cargo hold and flew from Kansas City to Chicago.

American Airlines says the Piedmont Airlines employee was working American Flight 363 on Saturday when the ********** left Kansas City International Airport with the handler in a heated and pressurized cargo hold.

Chicago ****** spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says he was found when the flight landed about an hour later at Chicago’s O’Hare airport. The spokesman says the handler told ****** he was intoxicated and had fallen asleep.

No charges were filed, and he was sent back to Kansas City.

American says it is grateful the handler wasn’t ******* and it’s reviewing what happened.

The handler’s name wasn’t released.
