• It's happened again.
As an EasyJet flight prepared to travel from the Spanish island of Tenerife to London after a three-hour delay, the pilot announced that the flight would depart in about 20 minutes.
"And that's when the incident happened with the defecation," said passenger Aaran Gedhu, according to CNN Travel.
Gedhu saw two people visit the forward restroom before an unpleasant odor permeated the cabin and word spread that someone had pooped on the bathroom floor.
"Obviously, the plane was in an unsanitary state. So they had to get external cleaners out from the airport to clean it," Gedhu said.
After the cleaning was complete, the pilot announced that passengers would have to disembark -- which took another 30 minutes.
Another passenger, Kitty Streek, said: "We obviously can't prove whether the person simply had an accident or if they had done this out of anger for the delayed flight ... but nobody wants to be stranded in another country."
And yet, they were: Gedhu was lodged in a hotel overnight before taking a "rescue" flight the next day. [CNN Travel, 10/17/2023]
