A story says a dog bit a man. Are you going to ask how do we really know the bite comes from a dog? How do we know the man was even bit?

How do you know the man even existed in the first place?????

This is really puzzling. From this and other comments saying "I could smell them through the video", I was really expecting to see something different in the video. I was expecting them to look like a homeless couple that had spent the night on a park bench.

So, for anyone who can't or won't click on the video, here is what they're dressed in:

Her: plain gray top with 3/4 length sleeves. Black skirt. Neither appears to be dirty or disheveled. She's wearing a black head covering (like a chef's bandana) typically worn by orthodox Jewish women. Carrying a fashionable black purse/tote along with baby item totes. Fashionable glasses. Hair is brushed and neat.

Him: dark blue Dockers-like business casual pants. A gray collared shirt, short-sleeved, tucked into his belted pants. Also fashionable glasses. He's wearing a yarmulka on his head.

The baby: typical baby clothes and shoes. Typical baby hair.

I'm not saying they didn't reek, maybe they did. But what on earth about what they're wearing says to you people "it's obvious they smell"?

Why, exactly?

They're not dirty looking.
Their hair is neat.
They're wearing sensible clothing.

What aspect of the way they look makes them look like they smell, to you?

Looked like normal people to me. Smell is a difficult thing to measure as we really have no objective way to measure it. That's why we use dogs to detect drugs, explosives, and bodies.

I was just saying that because of the reports of multiple passengers and crew all saying they smell. So they must have smelled bad. So bad I can smell them from here.

They couldn't let them go to the restroom and wash up? LOL

Take a bath. Leave the perfumes on the store shelves.

And men who smell like they take a shower in cologne. They leave for lunch and come back smelling like they reapplied it. LOL
