'Absolutely gross' maggots raining on passengers force flight to make U-turn
'Absolutely gross' maggots raining on passengers force flight to make U-turn
One passenger describing the "absolutely gross" incident says she looked behind her and saw the larvae "wiggling around on the seat".
Who the fuck packs a rotting fish into a carry-on bag??
And how the fuck does the rotting fish bag get through security?
In the US, they can't stop you from bringing a fish through, even if it's rotting. The airline can deny you boarding, if they even know about it ahead of time, but TSA isn't in charge of any of that.
I see now this is from AMS to DET, I'm not familiar with Amsterdam's security or rules, so there is a decent chance my first paragraph is incorrect in this situation.
I’m not paying $7 for a packet of lays

I just don't want to fly anymore.
Who can afford it these days? Groceries alone are over $200 a trip...
You don't need to fly to the grocery shop too, Taylor, for fucksake
FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like "grocery trips are $N these days" is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.
A better example might be "my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!"
My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.
I fly for work. Two at least scheduled before August.
I never liked flying and now have even more reason not to!
I was stuck on a runway in very humid weather. They finally turned the AC on after a couple hours and we started to get condensation dripping on us from the, I'm guessing, never cleaned ceiling.
And that's why I always fly in a thin hoodie now.
How? Why?
Cause Snakes are too expensive these days.
Mother fucking inflation
Article says they were coming from a carry-on bag. Someone was pulling a prank or was having a mental break, I guess.
Someone cast Greater Summon Maggots and it just got out of hand.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The "absolutely gross" situation saw the Delta flight forced to make a U-turn about an hour into the nine-hour trip from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Passengers reported the back of the plane was left teeming with the larvae that it later emerged were emanating from a rotten fish.
The passenger added that one of their carry-on bags was next to the "disgusting" one, and that the suspected culprit was still seated and did not exit the plane at the end of the flight.
"They were all sitting around in the crew area laughing and talking when we had been on the plane for close to three hours with not even water offered," Kelsey said.
Delta - described as a "leader in domestic and international travel" on its website - confirmed rotten fish and maggots were in the bag and apologised to the passengers.
"We apologise to the customers of Flight 133 AMS-DTW as their trip was interrupted due to an improperly packed carry-on bag," the airline told Sky News.
