Intestinal Turbulence Brings Down Plane
What else can you say about this one…
Flatulence brought 99 passengers on an American Airlines flight to an unscheduled visit to Nashville early Monday morning.
American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority.
…
The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal body odor, Lowrance said. The woman lives near Dallas and has a medical condition.
The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane.
“American has banned her for a long time,” Lowrance said.
She was not charged, but could have been. So American Airlines banned her from the flight.
The question is, did they ban her for striking the matches or was the odor that obnoxious?
