A human heart was accidentally left on a Southwest passenger airplane in Seattle, forcing the pilot to make a U-turn back for the airport.

The plane had earlier flown from Sacramento to Seattle, according to the Seattle Times, where the heart was supposed to be unloaded for delivery to a local hospital on Dec. 9.
