American Airlines insists farty passenger wasn’t cause of emergency...Huh?

American Airlines faced a big stink aboard one of its flights – but the airline insisted Monday that claims of a gassy passenger are a bunch of hot air. The Sunday afternoon flight from Charlotte, NC, landed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, where airport officials initially said a passenger “passed gas,” WNCN reported. The station reported Sunday that the passengers were removed after experiencing nausea and headaches from the noxious fumes. But airline and airport officials blew off reports of severe flatulence Monday, telling The Post that the plane was not evacuated during a “medical call” after a mechanical issue aboard. “We did have an aircraft from Charlotte to RDU this afternoon, that landed at 2:19 p.m. ET, and arrived the gate at 2:21 p.m. ET, that is currently out of service for an actual mechanical issue – and odor in the cabin. But it is not due to ‘passed gas’ as mentioned,” airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said. Airport spokesman Andrew Sawyer said the “medical call about persons affected by an odor came in after passengers deplaned normally.”

So now they claim it was all about a mechanical failure? Something stinks about this.

I’ve peeled some wallpaper in my day, but I’ve never approached anything that could cause an emergency landing. Maybe 4-5 rows of fanning the barf bags..

That passenger must have laid a real gas bomb to cause the plane to gag!

“Hi, this is your Captain speaking. We thank you for flying American Airlines. Well, we thank everyone except Steve in seat 26B who is farting worse than all the Cowboys in the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles.”

“Hi, this is your Captain speaking. If you look out the left side of the aircraft you’ll see a volcano. That volcano is putting out less noxious gas than Steve in seat 26B.”

“Hi, this is your Captain speaking. It looks like we’re going to be running into some rough weather up ahead, so I’m turning on the Fasten Seat Belt sign, and for Steve in seat 26B, I’m turning on the Plug Your Gashole sign.”
