Foul Smell Sends Plane Home

Passengers expecting to fly to Dubai were disappointed when the pilot announced they were going back to Heathrow Airport because someone had caused a stink in the bathroom

People on board had been complaining of a stench, according to Abhishek Sachdev who was travelling, and it eventually got so bad it became a health and safety concern.

Insane! Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet! 15hrs until next flight... #britishairways

Mr Sachdev did not admit to being the culprit but explained what the pilot had told the passengers on Thursday night.

‘About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets,’ the councillor who works in Potters Bar Parkfield, Hertfordshire, told Mail Online.

‘He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used. He said it’s not a technical fault with the plane, and he was very adamant about that.’

Passengers were provided with accommodation and the rescheduled flight left the next day
