I had a girlfriend who would occasionally have a "flatulent episode" that she simply could not control.
Fortunately she had other compensating characteristics.

that the incident had occurred due to "a passenger suffering from wind who was not attempting to restrain himself"
(wiping tears..of laughter..)
Not sure which is funnier, their use of English.. or the situation itself :D
Honestly, sometimes you CAN'T hold it back. It's not like he was creating gas from thin air (or thick?! ;^))..

Which airline? Smelta? Did the oxygen masks deploy?
Nothing new here. I have heard of a headwind and a tailwind before. Did they serve free peanuts on the flight?

Benjamin Franklin wrote a book titled, "Fart Proudly, For You Are An American".
There is also a book titled "The I Love To Fart Cookbook" in circulation.

Back in the 50s my grandfather was coming on home on a pulpwood truck and one of the guys in the crew got gassy. He was enjoying it so much that it caused offense. Finally he decided to fart in the face of one of the crew. The man threw the gas offender off the truck and it broke his neck. That story still gets trotted out at family events anytime someone doesn’t say excuse me.

“The best thing in life is to lay a stinky fart and get away with it.”
Once upon a time, we called such emissions Recon farts; “Swift, Silent and Deadly”.
Going waay back, had a science teacher that flew with the 8th Air Force. Related to a day’s lesson, he very clinically explained how altitude made gas expand.
Using a mission he flew on as an example, he explained that a crew members less than digested supper of hot dogs, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes expanded on the way to target. Crewman suffered such intense abdominal pain that the pilot was forced to abort the mission and return to England. Dumped their bomb load in the Channel.
Who knows, maybe it was a Sea Story of sorts but it was an entertaining lesson of how gas expaands.

My husband was a firefighter and said he heard of a run one squad had where the victim died of asphyxiation. He was very obese and had had a meal of cabbage and beans. His size prevented him from leaving his room and the methane gas he released was strong enough to kill him and the emergency people had to wear their air tanks to be able to get to him.
Interesting tidbit: The scientific study of this area of medicine is termed flatology.
