Moment pilot leaves cockpit to rescue dad who was trapped in toilet

A father-of-two had to be freed from a Delta Airlines toilet by the pilot after other cabin crew members had failed to bust the door down.

The 34-year-old, only named as Brent, went for a comfort break which ended up lasting 35 minutes during his family's flight from Salt Lake City to New Orleans.

Brent's dissatisfied partner shared the experience on his behalf with footage of the pilot trying to heave the door open after being refused a refund by the airline's customer services.
