A Delta Air Lines plane was forced to turn around about an hour into a flight from Atlanta to Barcelona, Spain, after a passenger sprayed diarrhea throughout the cabin all the way to the lavatory.
The incident which occurred in Delta194 flight with 336 passengers caused a huge upset in the place when, it was reported, the unnamed passenger offset a large watery shit that fouled the air-pressurized cabin and left a long drool of shit along the aisle.
According to airline tracker Flightaware.com, efforts of the entire flight crew manage the huge mess failed completely, leaving the plane very uncomfortable for everyone and forcing the pilot to rush back to airport for a thorough cleanout.
The flight tracker showed that the plane turned around and started heading back toward Atlanta less than an hour after taking off.
“We’ve had a passenger who had diarrhea all the way through the airplane so they want us to come back to Atlanta,” the pilot is recorded telling airport control.
Delta Airlines admitted that the flight suffered an “onboard medical issue.”
“Delta flight 194 from Atlanta to Barcelona returned to Atlanta following an onboard medical issue. Our teams worked as quickly and safely as possible to get our customers to their final destination. We sincerely apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans,” a spokesperson announced to the media.
The same plane took off the next day and completed the flight to Barcelona, Delta officials said, 8 hours and 6 minutes behind schedule.
Name and gender of the sick passenger were not disclosed but the airline was praised for taking the costly measure to find the passengers some relief, prevent contamination and refit the aisle carpet which was reportedly ripped off as cabin crew struggled to contain the watery shit from spreading further stench in the airtight fuselage.
