UH-OH

Fell asleep then woke up after plane took off.

According to the audio of a 911 call released Thursday, a baggage handler at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport fell asleep inside a plane’s cargo hold then woke up after the plane had taken off. A man tells a 911 dispatcher, “I’m inside a plane, and I Feel like it’s moving in the air. Flight 448. Can you please have somebody stop it?” The dispatcher, who seemed confused, asked the man to clarify his location at least three times before the man became frustrated and hung up. Pilots of the plane, which had been in the air for only 14 minutes, quickly returned to the airport.
