A flight from Dubai to Amsterdam had to make an emergency landing in Vienna after a fight broke out because one of the passengers wouldn’t stop breaking wind.
I think I'd be upset too. I have sympathy, but this would be too much. I'd probably need to throw up on the guy after a while.
Well, throwing a fit and/or starting a fight over the issue sure helped matters, didn't it?
What a bunch of snowflakes. Yes, yes, I know. It would smell bad. They should have breathed through their noses. Annoying? Sure. So what? It's a budget flight from one continent to another. You plunk down a few hundred bucks instead of a couple thousand (first class) and you get the extreme convenience of being whisked from one continent to another cheaply and in a fraction of a day. Oh, the horror!
I don't expect people to like it, but back in the day the equivalent of a budget flight was a cheap seat on a train, and that journey - from the Middle East to Western Europe - took days. No showers. And I bet the toilets on the trains of the day made airplane toilets of the 21st century seem like flower bouquets in comparison. And crossing the Atlantic? A week or more in fifth class or steerage, down in the bowels of a ship. Again, no showers. Imagine that funk. It would have gone far, far beyond one guy ripping ass.
People need to grow up and realize that sometimes life is just unpleasant for a few hours. Then the unpleasantness is over. An odor? Big flippin' deal...
I was sat next to a man on a National Express bus service, the UK equivalent to Greyhound, who was silently breaking wind every 20-30 seconds (silent, but smelly). I was lucky to find a vacant seat elsewhere in the bus, instead of having to go through the entire journey holding tissues over my nose.
Not his fault, and I'm glad it was easily resolved.
I thought this was an article about some country's Air Force that was reputed to be lousy and a list of military jets they had totaled in emergency landings.
Most airplanes have two or maybe three toilets and you think one person with the problem should stay in one of those?
Yes, and there are other modes of transportation.
