   Flatulence leads to flight diversion




By Samuel Shu for The Tennessean

NASHVILLE — Flatulence brought 99 passengers on an American Airlines flight to an unscheduled visit to Nashville early Monday morning.
American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority.

The plane landed safely. The FBI, Transportation Safety Administration and airport authority responded to the emergency, Lowrance said.

The passengers and five crewmembers were brought off the plane, together with all the luggage, to go through security checks again. Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches.

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal body odor, Lowrance said. The woman lives near Dallas and has a medical condition.

The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane.

"American has banned her for a long time" Lowrance said.

She was not charged but could have been. While it is legal to bring as many as four books of paper safety matches onto an aircraft, it is illegal to strike a match in an airplane, Lowrance said.

It sounded to me that she wasn't banned from ripping a ripe one, but for lighting matches to cover it up, which...I'm thinkin'...would pretty much be frontline common sense for airplane travel. I dunno, maybe it's ok to light a lighter on a plane, so likewise it should be fine to light matches?
Irregardless, it sounds like people panicked for no big reason.

[41husk]

Yep! or she became irate when confronted

[PocketThunder]

but dont you think its pretty much a red flag when you smell someone lighting a match?   you know they are not smoking on the plane.  at least not from the top end.....

The woman lives near Dallas and has a medical condition.

That's her next ticket to a big financial settlement with the airline. They denied her a flight, she's a moron, & she supposedly has a medical condition.

My Wife has told me that some of the mustard gas that has been emitted from my back end would be cause enough at least for the oxygen masks to be deployed!

I heard a comedian say once that the oxygen masks aren't deployed in an emergency to provide oxygen, they're so you don't have to smell everyone shitting their pants as the plane goes down!
