http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=252272 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20 In less tragic but far smellier news, today brings a report of the worst airline flight ever, courtesy of KING 5 News. The sordid saga began one week ago today, when a Continental Airlines flight left Amsterdam for Newark, New Jersey. Roughly two hours into the flight, attendants announced the lavatories were out of commission and an unplanned overnight landing in Ireland was made to fix the problem. The next day, the plane resumed its trip to Newark, but soon after takeoff, the allegedly repaired lavatories began spewing sewage, soaking the aisles with awful human soup and forcing passengers to breathe through their mouths for the duration of the trans-Atlantic flight. "It was the worst flight experience I have ever had," said survivor Collin Brock to KING 5, recounting how 168 passengers were left to share one half-working restroom and made to endure reminders from flight attendants (who were gamely continuing with meal service in the ****-soaked cabin) not to eat or drink too much. "To be told that we were supposed to monitor what comes out the other end of us was insulting," said Brock, who was given a $500 voucher for his pain and suffering onboard the flying Honey Bucket. "Shame on Continental."
If they landed to fix the problem, why didn't they empty those tanks out? Isn't that pretty standard when they prep the plane between flights? There shouldn't have been any sewage to begin with.
I flew out of Dallas on route to London. My friend, who was seated behind me, bought a bottle of Jack duty free. He proceeded to down it, and then proceeded to puke all over himself about an hour before we landed. This guy was notorious for puking. The stanch was horrible.
Not quite the same thing, but I flew from Singapore to Houston (26 hours including layovers in Tokyo and L.A.) and couldn't fall asleep at all. That sucked.
I got a handjob on a Continental flight to Ecuador from some Canadian chick who was traveling with a college tourist group. Never even knew her name
I didn't know they let pets on with passengers. I thought they put them with the luggage and stuff downstairs.
On a flight I was on once some lady changed her kids diaper after it took a dump in the main cabin instead of the restroom. I wasn't happy with that.
Yeah, thats what I thought too...but apparently, you can have them on the flight...and they are supposed to be in a kennel, but this lady had this little dog out on her lap the whole time.
That's insane, how long have they allow this? What if someone is allergic to them? I flew to Houston once with a small lovebird (parrot) and they didn't let me take it in with me. I would think that birds are less disruptive than dogs/cats. Dogs can make poopy time and stink up the plane (as cats can too).. not to mention they can bark like little b*tches.
"Curiously, the bus driver for the Dave Matthews band was the last passenger to be seen leaving the lavatory before the explosion of human waste began."
