[Internacional] Piloto fica preso em banheiro de avião e tripulação confunde com ato terrorista

A Chautauqua Embraer ERJ-145 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration
N564RP performing flight RP-6132 from Asheville,NC to New York La
Guardia,NY (USA), was on approach to La Guardia maintaining 10,000 feet,
when the first officer requested to leave the frequency to talk to
dispatch, "the captain has disappeared in the back and I have someone
with a big foreign accent trying to access the cockpit". The aircraft
entered a 360, the first officer talked to dispatch, upon returning on
frequency he reported the captain was going to take a break at the
bathroom but apparently got stuck inside the lavatory, someone with a
big foreign accent was attempting a password access to the cockpit but
the first officer won't let him in. About 5 minutes after reporting the
captain had disappeared in the back the first officer reported
"situation resolved" adding the captain had been trapped in the lavatory
when the door didn't open and the door had to be forced open. The
captain was back in the cockpit. The aircraft landed safely on La
Guardia's runway 04 about 18 minutes after the captain was reported
disappeared.

The captain had asked a passenger to relay the message, he was locked into
the lavatory, to the cockpit and had provided the passenger with the
code to open the cockpit door.
