American Airlines should sue them because they’ll never get the smell out like the Seinfeld episode with the body order , The Smelly Car
I was on a commuter flight from Chicago last year. It was packed.
A young black man sat down in my row and stunk to high heaven with pot. The skunk smell was obnoxious. My SO gets a severe migraine from smell.
If these men were smoking pot and they stank, yeah, kick them off.
I fly about once a year. I dread going on flights. And the more I read, the more I experience, the more I contemplate driving. Although I hate driving long distances.
Indeed, my BS meter is spiking
the CBS News (and their lawyer’s) narrative is: Plane had a strong oder of B.O., so Airline staff removed all the black men, harassed them for an hour, then let them back on the same flight.
OK, sure.
White, black, male or female - I can smell dreadlocks a mile away! It’s usually a combination of grease, dust, and pot resin odors. Disgusting. I would hate to be trapped on a flight with that.
Reporters refused to fly on Obama’s campaign plane because it was dirty and smelled so bad.
I used to fly to Huntsville, Alabama for business, and often the plane had many German expats who worked at Redstone Arsenal or NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. The Germans had not yet discovered soap and deodorant, and the planes would stink to the stratosphere.
I threw up in a barf bag while sitting next to a 300 lb hogger who made grunting sounds every few minutes. She smelled like bad tuna. I was never the same.
“a group of Black men who were not traveling together and did not know each other being removed from the flight.”
I don’t believe that for a minute. Sounds made up. Dollars to doughnuts this was a carefully choreographed project to instigate a racial situation. And if any of them had dreadlocks ... PEE-EW!
I worked with a guy years ago, clean-cut white guy, brilliant engineer, but he had horrible BO. (Not from pot).
I also worked with another guy, Indian, and he had BO but not really noticeable. Sitting next to him in a meeting room was not fun.
I guess I am lucky, I can go 3-4 days without a shower and still don’t stink.
Yeah, I think there is more to this story...
I once sat behind a woman on a plane (thankfully a short flight) who reeked! I thought my cat (who was in a carrier at my feet) had had an accident. But when I checked her, there was nothing there, and the smell went away as we deboarded.
... Until I got to the baggage claim area and the same woman stepped in front of me to grab a bag and that stank hit me upside my head once again. Maybe some combo of bad food and bad hygiene. ... it honestly made me feel ill.
Years ago I had an early morning accounting class that included three Chinese students. Every morning they smelled like a Chinese restaurant, very strong wok oil odor. I thought “...at 7 AM?”.
I worked a month in Venice awhile back. Air conditioning was used sparingly and deodorant was scarce. By afternoon everyone stunk.

I have an odor complaint about this whole article.
Some people never took that one hour and 25 minute Royal Jordanian flight from Baghdad to Amman in the summertime and it shows. 😜
One hot day at UT Austin I was getting in the elevator to go to my lab on the 3rd floor. A woman from India got on with me who had most horrible B.O. I ever smelled. I literally had to hold my breath or I would have barfed.
