Sewage flows down aisles of trans-Atlantic flight

“...there is no way that plane should have continued the flight...”

Agreed. If health officials are concerned about a TB patient flying, then they damn well better be concerned about the risk of raw sewage. Cholera, hepatitis, HIV, etc., the list goes on and on. This was a very poor decision on someone’s part, and the attorneys will be waiting.

I love good puns!

I wonder if carrion luggage would have added to the smell?

There is a direct conflict of sanitary practices for food service facilities occurring on the flight. Food service is only supposed to be served in a sanitary environment...the backup toilet and feces in the aisle would not be considered a sanitary environment and food service of any kind would be prohibited in any sanitary food service facility.

While I was a vet tech in the USAF, this issue was covered in detail for military flights and addressed. I would sue the airline for endangering my health from the serving of foods in an unsanitary environment, not an unforeseeable accident or backing up of the toilets.

That stuff flowing down the isle is what I get treated like every time I fly.

"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.

Well, not like it's that is something I would choose to do, but what a wuss. *Eww, eww, eww,....*

So did everybody else have to sit with it also.

Wait, no more French-bashing. They’ve exhibited a spine.

When? I must have blinked and missed it.

Man I hope the Captain wasn’t pointing out the scenery

I’ll ~never~ get over Macho Grande.

But really... what did they expect the crew to do about this? Open the door and sweep it out? It’s not like they’ve got wetvacs or even mops and buckets on airplanes. Granted... it’s a foul problem but there’s not much to do about it until they land somewhere.

[dashing doofus]

This is not normal for Continental flights?

So Collin Brock had to exercise some colon-block for the majority of the flight...

He came onto the plane

looking dapper

But he left smelling like

He fell into a cra****

I think I’d rather have $#!7 on a plane

I know that this guy would...it's making him a fortune!

The anagram of 'Thomas Crapper, the "inventor" of the flushing toilet' gives:

Great merit proven: "Pull the chain, then off it shoots!"

At least it wasn’t an Airbus (CO uses a 767-400 on that route), the Airbus Bashers would have never let them live that down. :P

The whiner has a highly metrosexual demeanor to say the least.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Similar to what I was thinking. Don’t put this guy on Oprah, either. You’d just be giving this nitwit an audience.

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

It has to be handled by Bio-Hazard trained employees, who are mostly station employees. We had a similar situation when some er, female products jammed the lav on a short flight from ORD-STL. The aircraft was grounded because it seeped into the floorboards. Mucho expensive. At least ORD-STL is only a 40 min flight. Ill bet the CO 777 0r 767 will be grounded for repair..

If it was daily... it fits the description of my last job.

Or my current one..
