One commenter on X, who said their partner was on the Delta flight, reported that it “smelled horrible” and that vanilla-scented disinfectant used to mask the odor “only made it smell like vanilla s—.”
Hahahahhaha.
It must have been a truly … profound…. Smell if they weren’t able to clean it up after 2 hours and had to divert.
Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can’t just have been a bit of a bad smell…
Maybe there’s a formula, like cost per puke * pukers and when that exceeds the divert cost, they just go for it
INCREDIBLE stench if someone on a neighboring DELTA flight could smell the dog shit on this UNITED flight
They were relating in the article about another similar event on a Delta flight that had to divert for a human passenger’s diarrhea.
Maybe it’s just because I clean up dog poop everyday but human diarrhea is so much worse
Fuckin Boeing at it again.
Betcha that if it happened in coach they would’ve kept going.
With a PA message that there is a free meal in the aisle for whoever wants it
Chicken or fish? Or poop?
boeing
wtf i love this dog now
If it had pooped in the coach aisle, they would have just stayed in the air.
That poor, poor dog!!.. it sounds like something serious like pancreatitis.
Sounds like someone’s poorly trained “service animal” that they brought on the plane without being crated. I think we’ve let loopholes like this exist long enough. Have a legitimate service animal you want to bring somewhere normal animals would not be allowed? Be prepared to show documentation certifying them as such. Have an emotional support animal? Fuck off. That’s not a get out of consequences free pass.
Fun fact. Other mammals besides humans can have bathroom emergencies, too.
Those times you unexpectedly needed to diarrhea immediately and had a photo finish to a bathroom (or not)? Yeah, a dog in an airplane isn’t going to have the same luxury. Its bathroom is the floor
Don’t they have doggy diapers?
