Report: Stench that diverted flight came from 'someone or something in the cabin'
SF Gate ^ | August 15, 2018 | Eric Ting

The strong odor that forced a flight from San Francisco International Airport to divert to Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday came from "someone or something in the cabin," according to the airline.

Investigators concluded that the odor did not come from a problem with the aircraft, but instead from a passenger or their belongings.

"After a maintenance inspection of [the plane], it was determined the odor was not caused by the aircraft," a spokesperson for Alaska Airlines said on Tuesday. "The cause of the odor is believed to have emanated from someone or something in the cabin. The aircraft is back in service."

The plane was originally headed to New Orleans, and landed safely in Los Angeles around noon on Sunday. No emergency was declared by the crew.

I believe the one on that flight was laid by Jack the Ripper. I knew a guy in high school that could fart on request. Any time, any where, and they were nasty.

Who knew a meal of pickled onions, hard boiled eggs and beer was a bad idea before flying?

I read about that long ago. How someone brought it on an aircraft, back then.

I once walked into a restroom in Walmart. I was immediately hit with an odor like I have never smelled before.

My first reaction was “that poor guy, he must be really ill”. I had to just leave.

I was thinking the same thing: the smell of boiled cabbage, urine and farts. The number one person of interest: the Kankelosaurus.

Worked with a guy - former AF - he would do that while you were eating your lunch in a shared cubicle (doing a consulting job for a gov’t agency).

I did not have kind words to say at the time.
