A stuck bathroom door sent a planeload of people to Denver.

United Airlines flight 1554 was making its way from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco on Wednesday when one of the bathroom doors became stuck, KUSA-TV reported.

The plane made an unscheduled landing in Denver, Emily Williams with the Denver International Airport told KUSA.

Denver Fire responded to a call from the flight crew and helped open the door, Williams told KUSA. No calls for medical assistance were reported.

United confirmed to KUSA that someone was, indeed, in the locked bathroom.

This video of the incident was shared on Twitter.
