RAW SEWAGE Flows Down Aisles Of 7-Hour Flight - Dinner still served
Given the option, I think I'd take the 7 hours of stranded :scared:

The Continental Airlines flight was headed from Amsterdam to New Jersey on June 13. Approximately two hours into the flight, the crew discovered a problem with the lavatories and the pilot landed in Ireland for repairs, according to KING-TV in Seattle.

All passengers were forced to stay overnight in Ireland before boarding the same plane the next day and taking off for New Jersey. Immediately after the plane was airborne, sewage reportedly started overflowing from the toilets. But this time, the pilot was over the Atlantic Ocean and could not turn back.

More than 200 passengers on board were forced to endure the majority of the overseas flight with a foul stench in the air, KING reported.

"I've never felt so offended in all my life. I felt like I had been physically abused and neglected. I was forced to sit next to human excrement for seven hours," passenger Colin Brock told KING-TV.

You would think they might have emptied them while they worked on them or at least before taking off again. Ewww
