Child forced to urinate in plastic bag as family queues for flight amid airport chaos

A raging dad fumed that his child was forced to urinate in a plastic bag during a 'two-hour long' security queue at Manchester Airport. Fewer than half of 13 security bays were open in Terminal One on Tuesday afternoon, as Mark Meadows and his family were attempting to jet off to Berlin.

Following the long wait, his flight was eventually cancelled, and the family had to re-book for the following day, with budget airline easyJet reporting it was grounded owing to 'air traffic control delays'. Mr Meadows said: "Security didn't look so bad when we were arriving, at least it wasn't snaking outside. But, when we got in, it was a different story," reports the Manchester Evening News.

He added: "It was utter chaos. A lad was trying to help get people to the front who were risking missing flights but it wasn't exactly organised. My little boy also had to wee in a plastic bag in security as we waited so long and there was no chance of leaving for the toilets."
