A child traveling on Delta Air Lines had to use a bag as a toilet in the aisle after the plane was stuck on the tarmac for six hours, according to a report by the local television station WJCL in Savannah, Georgia .

Lizzy Phillips, traveling with her family, told WJCL that her daughter used a bag to relieve herself in the plane's aisle after seeing the lavatories overflowing with water and waste.

Phillips was on a recent Delta flight bound for Atlanta, Georgia, from the Bahamas. Poor weather conditions forced the plane to land in Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport, a domestic airport in Savannah, Georgia, per WJCL.

The plane ended up stuck on the airport's tarmac as the cabin crew needed to be replaced and customs had to process the passengers, per the report.

In a video taken by a passenger and shown in WJCL's report, passengers could be seen waiting inside the plane, with a flight attendant telling them that the situation wasn't "looking too good."

"This was only supposed to be an hour-and-a-half-long flight, so you're not bringing a ton of snacks and food onto the plane," Phillips told WJCL. Eventually, there wasn't any food or water left on the plane, per the report.

Phillips and her family decided to rent a car and drive to Atlanta instead, WJCL reported. The drive from Savannah to Atlanta is about 250 miles and takes around four hours.

"I can't believe there isn't a protocol for situations like this," Phillips said in the report. She added that she had never heard of this many things going wrong and noted that the experience was "traumatic" for her family.
