"I've never felt so offended in all my life. I felt like i had been physically abused and neglected. I was forced to sit next to human excrement for seven hours," said Brock.

Naturally, it would have been above the responsibilities of the flight attendants to clean the mess up. Probably also against Union regulations.

Hmmm, a remark like that - it's almost as if he had been riding NYC subways....

He also says the flight attendants - who were serving meal service in a stinky, unappetizing cabin - told everyone to not eat or drink too much.
