Plane forced to land because of a very smelly poo. Yes, really.

Quick. Everyone use your oxygen mask.

A smelly, smelly poo.

That was what forced a British Airways flight to turn back to Heathrow and make an emergency landing. A smelly poo in the toilet, radiating the passengers nostrils.

A flight from London to Dubai was forced to turn around after only 30 minutes, when a pungent smell started seeping through the cabin.

Can you smell that?

 

The cabin crew spent a super-fun half hour trying to fix the problem (with air freshener? By lighting a scented candle? We aren’t sure how). According to Abhishek Sachdev, a passenger on the flight, the pilot then announced, “you may have noticed there’s quite a pungent smell coming from one of the toilets.”

Other air news: Woman has drunken meltdown in air. Someone live-tweets it.

“He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used.”

Charming.

 

There have been no reports on where the poo came from. Probably because no one wanted to own up.

The plane landed back at Heathrow airport, where passengers had to disembark and wait 15 hours for another flight. They were given accommodation and food vouchers by British Airways, but it didn’t stop them kicking up a stink (ahem).
