Walk of Shame

• "It's just a biohazard issue," the pilot told air traffic control. And indeed, the Delta Airlines Airbus A350 was forced to return to Atlanta after two hours in the air after a passenger suffered an "onboard medical emergency": uncontrollable diarrhea that left the entire length of the aisle covered in fecal matter.

The Guardian reported that passengers said the flight crew did everything they could to clean up the mess, including spraying it with scented disinfectant.

But that merely made the cabin "smell of vanilla s--t," one traveler said.

Back in Atlanta, passengers, including the afflicted traveler, waited eight hours for the plane to be cleaned up and the aisle carpet to be replaced, then reboarded and were on their way to Barcelona -- again.
