Plane forced to turn back by 'smelly poo'
British Airways flight to Dubai forced to return to Heathrow Airport after 'smelly poo in the toilet' becomes unbearable for passengers
A town councillor from Hertfordshire says a British Airways flight to Dubai was forced to return to London due to a foul odour emanating from an overflowing toilet. Hertsmere councillor Abhishek Sachdev, who represents Potters Bar Parkfield, said the seven-hour flight was aborted ‘because of a smelly poo in the toilet’. Cabin crew were unable to fix the problem and the smell became unbearable for passengers seated nearby, forcing the plane to turn around near Brussels and land at Heathrow Airport. Mr Sachdev, a Tory councillor, said the flight departed on time Thursday night and everything seemed fine until the captain made an announcement about 30 minutes after take-off. He told MailOnline Travel: ‘The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd. ‘About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets. ‘He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used. He said it’s not a technical fault with the plane, and he was very adamant about that.’ The captain informed passengers that the plane’s crew had examined the problem, but were unable to fix it. He told them that the plane would be forced to return to London for health and safety reasons. Passengers were initially told that they would board another flight in three hours, but it turned into a 15-hour delay, said Mr Sachdev, who was travelling with his pregnant wife, Rupa, and their two-year-old daughter, Shravani. He said the airline offered an apology and provided hotel accommodation and food vouchers, but claimed BA ground staff were unprepared and told the travellers to contact the Civil Aviation Authority for compensation. Mr Sachdev, who wasn’t seated near the toilet in question, said passengers departed for Dubai yesterday at 1pm. He said: ‘It’s obviously disappointing to lose a whole day of your trip. You might expect it on some random airline, but you wouldn’t expect it from British Airways.’ After the plane landed at Heathrow, the councillor tweeted: ‘Insane! Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet! 15hrs until next flight/’ A British Airways spokesperson told MailOnline Travel: 'We're very sorry for the discomfort to our customers. 'We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the next day.'

I think if I destroyed a head with something so foul that it caused a jumbo jet to have to make an emergency landing, I might swell with pride. And go to the doctor soon.

I can't remember the last time I used a toilet on a plane. Must be 20 years ago.

I would have been the asshole eating a sandwich claiming the smell didn't bother me at all.

Pilot should have said: "We have a pungent, foul-smelling odor in the cabin which we're unable to rectify. But...we're heading to Dubai, so consider it a complimentary advanced environmental adjustment since you'll be living in the Middle East where it smells like this everyday."

I hope my colon cancer doesn't cause a similar problem on the way to Copenhagen from Chicago... I'm actually worried a bit about having to wait to use the lavs. Colon cancer is far, far from patient.

There is barely enough room to piss in there. I can't even imagine what it would be like to drop a deuce in there.

They should have called the culprit out over the intercom.
Ahmad Bin Gooley in seat 47 just dropped a mean duece, and this one is bringing more than a year to the captains eye. Were going back to London. This one goes out to you, Mr Extremely smelly shitter.... Only YOU can drop a duece at 25000 feet so bad we have to turn the plane around (I think something is dead) Making people leave the room with flatulance is one thing, but a stinky shit bad enough to travel 800 miles back to London to switch planes is in another category. (I can't breath).... Mr Extremely smelly shitter...... |
