A male passenger who emitted an excessive amount of 'gas' caused a delay on an American Airlines flight. The lingering odor and discomfort among passengers led the airline crew to address the situation, resulting in a delay before takeoff.
The flight was delayed because the male passenger farted excessively
The incident took place on January 14 on an American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Austin. A passenger on the flight posted on social media and complained about this smelly situation.
In his post, the passenger emphasized that he sat near the row where the incident occurred.
At the beginning of the article, the passenger said that while the plane was still at the gate, he heard the arguing sounds of an angry and possibly drunk man.
He exclaimed about something specifically "You think that's rude? How about this," after which the angry man repeatedly farted loudly.
The passenger said they initially thought it was a funny situation before the man took a more rude attitude with his excessive farting.
Despite his impolite actions, the man continued to speak loudly to everyone and invited them to enjoy his "smell."
The author recalls that some female passengers expressed dissatisfaction but they still focused on their own work. Meanwhile, others just shook their heads and laughed.
Arguments broke out before the flight took off
When the frustration reached its peak, some passengers scolded the angry man, saying, "You can fly separately if you want to fart all you want."
Another chimed in: "We all agree you're rude."
Fart man responded angrily with more farts with a look of indifference to everyone.
While the argument was still going on, the plane had left the gate and was moving toward the runway. However, it was forced to stop and return to the gate due to increasing tension.
The crew gets involved to eliminate the farting man from their flight
Faced with endless arguments, the flight crew of the American Airlines flight was forced to step in to resolve this funny situation.
One of the crew members reassured everyone that the farting man would be forced to return to the gate.
Besides the satisfaction of the passengers on the flight, the farting man exclaimed in surprise: "Why? I don't understand."
The crew only responded that the people at the gate would clarify the matter with him.
The farting man then stood up and quietly left the plane before everyone's uncomfortable looks.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief when the man left the flight and they were able to take off after a 30-minute delay.
They also praised American Airlines for handling the situation quickly and appropriately.
Another case of farting excessively on a plane
Unlike the male passenger farting excessively on the plane, this incident involving a dog farting excessively caused a couple to ask the airline to refund them.
A couple had a terrifying 13-hour flight when a dog repeatedly snorted and farted at them on the flight from Europe to New Zealand.
Singapore Airlines later offer them a travel voucher worth NZ$200 as part of their compensation.
However, the woman was still very upset and asked the airline to refund the entire amount due to the awful experiences they had to endure during the 13-hour flight.
