A flight is diverted after it smelled like a poop

 

 

Although the word “Smelly Poop” does not appear in the headlines, this time this forced British Airlines to divert back to the UK. It was a seven-hour long British flight that was flying to Dubai. When the cabin crew realized the pungent smell, they tried to fix the issue but were not able to do that. When the odor became intolerable for the passengers, the pilot had to divert the flight just after 30 minutes of flying. 

 

When the flight took off from the airport, the pilot encountered a foul smell that was coming from the toilet. It happened just after 10 minutes. When he found something bizarre in the flight, he asked for help from the senior team. The whole crew tried their best to solve the problem but after a few more minutes the smell started becoming unbearable for the passengers. This is when the pilot decided to return to Heathrow airport in the UK. Since the next flight from the UK was after 15 hours, the airlines had to arrange accommodation for the passengers in the hotel. 

 

A man board the flight wearing everything that he packed

 

 

Among so many crazy travel stories from all around the internet, but this one created a lot of drama. This incident took place at Keflavik Airport in Iceland. A guy named, Ryan Carney Willians, boarded the British Airlines flight to London. The fun part of his boarding is that he was wearing 8 pairs of pants and 10 shirts. When he reached the airport, he filmed himself wrapped in layers of cloth. He was all draped with clothes on the shoulders and neck. This approach of wearing all the luggage is not to save himself from cold but was to get rid of the extra baggage fee. When the British airlines came to know about this incident, he was denied to board the flight and was asked to pay a huge fine. The airlines also refused to offer him a return.
