Passenger mistakes ********* exit for the loo, deploys ********** slide

CHONGQING, CHINA – One woman’s embarrassing faux-pas has led to an hours-long flight delay and a whole lot of aggravated passengers.

According to Aviation Figure, a 50-year-old woman onboard China Southern Airlines flight CZ3456 flying from Chongqing to Shenzhen accidentally deployed the ********** slide after mistaking the ********* exit for the loo.

The woman, who had never flown on an airplane before, was apparently fed up with the queue for the bathroom and attempted to open the ********* exit in search of alternative facilities. The ********** slide was deployed as a result, just as the aircraft had finished boarding and was making preparations for takeoff.

Everyone was then taken off the plane and made to wait for over two hours while the ******* worked to fix the *******.

Disgruntled passengers took to Weibo (China’s equivalent to Facebook) to express their annoyance. One passenger wrote: “Southern Airlines 3/25 flight CZ3456 from Chongqing to Shenzhen, we’d just finished boarding. A passenger wanted to use the ****** but opened the cabin door, the ********* slide deployed, we still haven’t taken off and were removed from the plane.”

Following the ********, the woman’s boarding pass and passport were confiscated by cabin crew and she was taken away by ****** for *************.
