Delta flight makes emergency landing due to diarrhoea biohazard

[AisleSeat]

A Delta flight from Atlanta to Barcelona had to return to Atlanta due to a passenger suffering a bout of diarrhoea so bad it spread throughout the cabin.

"It's just a biohazard issue," the pilot could be heard saying over the radio in the snippet. "We've had a passenger who had diarrhea all throughout the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta."

Reminds me of the QF28 SCL-SYD mass gastro that inflicted 30 or so teens from the same travel group on a World Youth Day thingy

Someone has to say it. What a cough of a flight.

A serious code brown

Well it looks like its not just Qantas in the coughs.

The visuals are truly appalling
Think I would be begging to get off

Oh dear, that must have been absolutely awful for everyone involved.

 

[Pushka]

I know I'd be gagging.

I feel a terrific amount of sympathy for all onboard... but especially the poor cough who was sick... Adding all that attention to what would have been an awful experience AT HOME...

It's amazing what the colon/rectum can hold in until it can't.

Brown is one thing. Black (malaena) is another level

Not trying to put blame on the person who caused this - I'm sure they had a horrific time and were very embarrassed. But I wonder why someone would board a plane in this state?

Serious question - would an airline let you rebook your ticket free of charge for the next day if you weren't feeling well prior to boarding? Surely that would be in everyone's best interests, but I can just see an airline refusing or wanting to charge a hefty change fee for this, with this being the outcome.
