http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/someone-did-a-shit-so-bad-a-british-airways-flight-had-to-turn-around-and-land-475Anyway, the BA flight from Heathrow to Dubai on Saturday had to turn around and flop back down again at Heathrow just 30 minutes into the seven-hour flight because somebody did a toilet crime.
Hertsmere Tory councillor Abhishek Sachdevwho has clearly not heard the "he who smelt it, dealt it" directivehappened to be on the flight, and, as well as tweeting his response ("Insane! Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet! 15hrs until next flight... #britishairways" also spoke to the Daily Mail about the ordeal. Again: imagine making a smell so bad a Tory councillor talks to a national paper about it.
"The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd," he said. "About 10 minutes later he said, 'You may have noticed there's a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets.'
Did the flight make an intermediate stop in South Park, CO?

The flight attendant kept banging on the toilet room door telling him to put out his cigarette or whatever he was smoking and come out or she would call for assistance in removing him. When he finally was able to come out and she realized he was sick, she helped him. He'd gotten food poisoning and was still feeling awful when he got home a day later.

(53,339 posts)On long overseas flights I've ben served a very good filet mignon dinner with good wine. They know those very long flights are stressful and they do everything they can to minimize the stress and make them as pleasant as possible. They know that to do otherwise would just be Mad Max crazy.

(14,738 posts)The rail operator apologised to passengers but insisted that it was more than their franchise was worth to attempt the journey without a foul-smelling pan trout.
Our staff are trained to inspect the toilets on a regular basis, and deal quickly with anything that looks remotely hygenic, said PR director Gordon Keeble.
Unfortunately this train has been the scene of some vigorous flushing, and on this occasion, none of our staff were fully up to the job.

(36,827 posts)The shitters are closed when the train is in station.
The last time I rode a French train it was that way.
