The incident took place earlier this month, but video of his confrontation with airlines staff has only attracted attention in the past few days.</p><p>Hamilton was one of the passengers on a flight from Atlanta to Milwaukee that &nbsp;<a href="http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/columnists/jim-stingl/2017/04/26/stingl-need-pee-gets-man-kicked-off-delta-flight-milwaukee/100885528/" target="_blank">reportedly</a> spent 2 hours on the tarmac waiting for takeoff.</p><p>While the plane was being taxied to the runway Hamilton realized he needed to use the washroom badly. When the flight crew announced his plane was third in line to takeoff, he decided to head to the washroom, but a flight attendant told him he couldn't stand up until the plane was in the air.</p><div><figure><a href="http://www.cbs19.tv/news/urgent-trip-to-restroom-gets-man-kicked-off-flight/434442526" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/9_1493251189450_9307114_ver1-0.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="http://www.cbs19.tv/news/urgent-trip-to-restroom-gets-man-kicked-off-flight/434442526" target="_blank">CBS 19</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Hamilton managed to wait another half hour before trying again, but when you've gotta go, you've gotta go. He made a quick run to the bathroom, but as he did the pilot announced that the plane would be returning to the gate so a passenger could be removed.</p><p><strong>Click the next page to see the video of Hamilton's removal!</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p>When Hamilton came back to his seat, he found a flight attendant waiting to speak with him. The Delta employee told him he had to get off the plane, refusing to answer any of his questions and saying that he would only talk outside the plane.</p><p>In a video recorded by another passenger, Hamilton can be seen apologizing and asking why he has to be removed, saying he couldn't help but go to the washroom.</p><p>"I'm not really clear on why I'm being asked to leave this plane," he says, "I purchased this ticket, I had an emergency. I had to pee." Other passengers can be heard agreeing with him, and asking the Delta employee why he had to leave.</p><div><div><div><amp-youtube height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="4MTMfblDYso"></amp-youtube></div></div></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>It took several minutes and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndzVbkEfIxY" target="_blank">a second Delta employee</a> to convince Hamilton to leave his seat.

That may be true, but it still seems a little extreme to kick a passenger off their flight over a bathroom break!</p><p><strong>Did Delta make the right decision in this case?</strong></p><p></p></div>
