A United Airlines flight was diverted on Sunday, 19 May, when a passenger item became trapped in a seat.
The transatlantic journey from Zurich, Switzerland, to Chicago, Illinois, had to divert to Ireland when a passenger's laptop became "stuck in an inaccessible location" in the plane's cabin, according to the airline.
Playback of flight UA12 on Flightradar24 showed the aircraft flying over Ireland before turning around and landing at Shannon airport.
The flight was rescheduled to Chicago for the next day as crew had hit their maximum duty time.
United Airlines has been contacted for comment.
