Maggots falling from an overhead bin from a spoiled container of meat forced a US Airways flight to return to the gate so the bin could be cleaned.
Passenger Donna Adamo said she noticed a couple of flies on the Monday flight when she got to her seat but didn't think much of it. Then, as the plane was taxiing, she heard a passenger behind her causing a commotion and refusing to take her seat.
"Then I heard the word 'maggot' and that kind of got everybody creeped out," she said. "All of a sudden, I felt somebody flick the back of my hair and on the front of me came a maggot, which I flicked off me."
A passenger had the container in a carry-on bag and brought it on Monday's flight heading from Atlanta to Charlotte, N.C., said US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher. The pilot announced that they were returning to the gate because of a "minor emergency on board" and the flight attendants told everyone to sit down and be calm, Adamo said.
"I felt like they were crawling all over me because it only takes one maggot to upset your world," she said. "And as they're telling us to stay calm and seated, I see a maggot looking back at me and I'm thinking, 'These are anaerobic, flesh-eating larvae that the flight attendants don't have to sit with.'"
A shaky cell phone video shot by Adamo as passengers deplaned shows a small white maggot wriggling across a seat.

Maybe she was using a different word, starting with an “F” - referring to the male flight attendents. Those seem to be on every flight.
I'd also want the plane to be free of Musl.. er, .. maggots before takeoff.
Homemade menudo. (it has to age a little bit)
LOL...but....yes, ewwww.
Well, with Obamanomics attacking all corners of the American private business world, the cost of maintenance is really high now.....I wonder if they are pumping the toilets out as frequently???
I’m sick of these mot**r-f*****g maggots on this ***her-****ing plane!”
Somewhere out there, Lucio Fulci is smiling. ^__^
What species was it? How did it get through security?
Oh gross!
I wonder why they routed Biden through Atlanta back to DC?
So why the hell did voters put him in the White House???
What the hell does that grow up to be?
I hope those hands are those of a midget or a 1 year old. I hate to think that maggots grow that big.
See, the passengers just misunderstood when the airline asked “Do ya wanna fly?”
Okay, seriously, who brings spoiled meat on a plane? Or alternatively, who brings maggots as pets?
When I saw the headline I thought they were talking about democrats.
Used to be "Smoking or non-smoking?". Now it's "With anaerobic flesh-eating larvae or without?". Somehow I don't think we're moving in the right direction.
