When you get on an airplane, there are a lot of things that you can reasonably expect could go wrong. Maybe your seatmate is too wide to fit in just one seat. Maybe a child will start crying. Maybe you’re forced to witness another passenger going to the bathroom barefoot. No one is going to enjoy experiencing any of those issues, but they’re also completely normal. On a recent flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, however, the Daily Mail reports that passengers had to deal with the completely unexpected problem of maggots falling onto them from the overhead compartmen

Maybe the woke generation was trying to teach them how tasty it is to eat bugs.
Not many crazy things they won’t try.
“Probably the remains of a body left in the overhead storage bin.”
Probably not.
Thanks, guest7,
We defintely need better airline maintenance and security standards.
Who knows?
But nothing will stop various Freepers from making knee-jerk assumptions, so everything here will carry on the same.
Normally, you have to pay extra for maggots.
I was wondering where I left my sammich. But seriously, I never fly Delta.
Has there been a recent airline mishap story that wasn’t about Delta?
Someone probably screamed *racism* or *-phobia* or some other victim class and wimps that people are, they backed down and gave the guy a pass.
Doesn’t Delta charge extra for that?
When employees are hired based on Kolor, Kink, and/or Kin (NEPO babies) maggots will fall... figuratively or ‘for real’ as in this case.
They were probably just unaware that the maggots were mandated for in-flight meals by the UN for all international flights for non-first class passengers.
No doubt. After smoking totes in Amsterdam, you'll have intense cravings for food and will eat anything.
Could have been worse (a corpse in the overhead compartment).
In the ‘80s, we flew from Anchorage to Syracuse which involved two plane changes. They lost our luggage. They were pretty nonchalant about delivering them to the house until we told them 50 pounds of frozen fish was in one of the bags.
Have you flown out of an airport in a Democrat city?
That smell might be more pleasant than the stench of some of the passengers.
Were they crunchy?
Back in the 80’s I had some Vietnamese women working for me. They brought in Kimchi, made from leaving cabbage in a jar buried in the ground for several weeks
They were eating in their work area so I went over to see what they had
They offered me some but when I smelled it I gagged.
Did they have a good laugh.
Thanks! Almost spilled a margarita. I was a comparative zoologist before ending up in biomedicine. Lots of time with dermestid beetle colonies skeletonizing carcasses.
And yes, as half-Norwegian, I eat lutefisk whenever I can. Maggots are simply a fact of death. And wound debridement.
Just waiting for you, null. We knew you wouldn't disappoint. :D
