A Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Barcelona, Spain was diverted back to its original airport after a passenger experienced an "onboard medical issue," which was reportedly a case of "diarrhea all the way through the plane."
The website FlightRadar24.com shows Delta Flight DL194 was about two hours into its eight-hour flight when it turned around over Virginia and headed back to Atlanta.
A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, who appears to devote his page to flight material shared audio recorded from the Airbus A350 that was broadcast on LiveATC.com.
On the recording, a pilot tells air traffic control, "This is a biohazard issue."
"We’ve had a passenger who’s had diarrhea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta," the pilot added.
A Delta spokesperson confirmed with Fox News Digital there was no emergency landing because of the biohazard situation, but the flight did return to its original airport.
"Delta flight 194 from Atlanta to Barcelona returned to Atlanta following an onboard medical issue," the spokesperson said. "Our teams worked as quickly and safely as possible to thoroughly clean the airplane and get our customers to their final destination. We sincerely apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans."

Reason 59 why I don’t fly anymore.
Have the stewardess clean it up. Or Volunteers. 2 hours into a flight and you turn around?! 4 hours on a plane is an eternity as it is. This makes no sense to me.
Maybe the passenger thought he was in San Francisco
I was rather wondering myself. Sounds like a load of crap to me. 😂
Some years ago, I was on a flight on which an elderly gentleman soiled himself with diarrhea, made the seats nearby unbearable, and put one of the two bathrooms out of order. I was both sorry for the poor soul and furious at him for causing the long line for the other bathroom and my own resulting discomfort. When we arrived at our destination, he was brought off the plane by paramedics swaddled in blankets on a wheel chair.
He probably WAS walking up and down the aisles, and all he found, were pay toilets, and he didn’t have change. Can you imagine the dude, telling people, I got 5 dollars for 2 quarters. How about 10 dollars for 2 quarters, how about 20 dollars for 2 quarters? Gee whiz, someone should have bit the bullet, and given him the change, for the comfort of all the passengers. 😁😆
You deserve a Pulitzer Prize for that story. 😁😊😆😂😄
Explosive diarrhea ping.
Or was just pooping in a vain attempt to reach the restroom!
That is one well written story. I wonder if there was any toilet paper there.
Montezuma's revenge?

Seriously!
As a marathon runner who has used the port-a-potties, I have been in multiple biohazard situations! You don’t want to know!
💩
I’ve never seen a pay toilet on a plane. That’s plain stupid.
This one has two of Gutfeld's favorite things: poop and Delta Airlines.

Frantically running from one toilet to the next
