“A Biohazard Situation” – Delta Flight Makes U-Turn Due to Passenger’s Diarrhea Crisis, Plane Undergoes Five-Hour Cleanup and Full Carpet Replacement (VIDEO)
In what may be one of the most unusual incidents to ever disrupt an international flight, a Delta flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Barcelona, Spain had to turn around mid-flight. The reason? A passenger onboard suffered from an extreme bout of diarrhea, creating what the pilots called a “biohazard” situation.
Flight DL194 was cruising over Virginia after taking off from Georgia at 8:47 p.m. on Friday, September 1. Everything seemed normal until the unthinkable happened.
A text message sent to Air Traffic Control by the captain was remarkably straightforward about the crisis: “Divert to ATL — passenger diarrhea all over aircraft — biohazard.”
An unidentified man “had diarrhea all the way through the plane.” A viral video showed that the excrement was literally down the “entire” aisle.
