Reminds me of the old joke about two ramp guys drinking jet fuel because they could get drunk without getting a hangover. The next day one calls the other and asks “have you passed gas yet”

Not yet

“Well, don’t. I’m calling from Phoenix>”

Happened to one of the guys on my shift back in 2002. Vanguard Airlines in Kansas City. He wound up in Chicago and came back to us seated in the cabin.

Flight passenger Jesse Sycuro told KING-TV that passengers in first class “heard banging from underneath us and a person yelling for help.”

According to Sycuro, two air marshals jumped up and spoke with a flight attendant, who then alerted the pilot.
