Woman Sues Airline for Not Waking Her Up
A woman who was left alone inside an airplane after falling asleep is now suing the United Airlines with false imprisonment, negligence, and infliction of emotional distress. However, the last accusation seems absurd since how can someone feel emotional distress when he or she is in deep slumber.
According to reports, Ginger McGuire, 36, fell asleep during her flight from Washington to Philadelphia and failed to wake up when her plane has landed at 12.am local time, trapping her inside for a couple of hours.
Meanwhile, the cleaning crew woke McGuire during her slumber. However, she was locked inside the plane until federal officials were convinced that she was not a terrorist.
When asked about the comment, United Airlines spokeswoman Sarah Massier said they are investigating the incident.
