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.”

Well whoever supplied it obviously did NOT deny it..gee Ive had my share of fart episodes but nothing that would cause a plane to have to land LOL..how many burritos did this guy eat anyway
“Thank you for flying American Airlines. Those of you in our frequent flyer club have just earned another 1500 miles. Except for Stinky Steve in seat 26B. We have confiscated all of your frequent flyer miles and we’ll be using them to help pay for the seat you have ruined with that gas attack of yours that dwarfed anything used in WWI.”
Someone said that that passenger could fart stink up an entire C-5A all by themselves.
Good one...! I remember that one!
It makes me wonder what these people eat...old tires?
All Stinky Steve had to do was point to the woman in 26A and gag...
I knew a guy who once was given a technical foul for a truly stinky one. The refs shut the game down for slightly over five minutes waiting for the fumes to dissipate.
Well...it is technically VERY FOUL!!!
These guys I worked with would go eat hot East Indian food on purpose at lunch then come back and make the rest of us cry until it was time to go home. Problem was...the stench was still there in the morning!
Pickled eggs and onions if you want a truly eye watering stench.
Combine with beer and beans for largest amount of gas.
Cut what? The cheese?
Did they i.d. the farter? Usually it is the first complain. After all we know that “he who smelt it, delt it”
But to subject a captive audience on an airplane to a paint peeling smell from hell is inhumane!
Did they i.d. the farter? Does he have frequent farter miles is more important question?
In the farter’s defense, you do pass gas on a plane. It has something to do with air pressure. But in deference to the noses of those around you (and your own) you should take activated charcoal to lower the stench.
I wonder if it really is possible to crack one off that was so bad that they had to land a plane. I know I have released some in the past that could gag a maggot, but never THAT bad.
Besides....don’t modern pressurized aircraft have air filtration systems that would alleviate the odor?
“Ladies and gentlemen, please remain seated until the plane has come to a complete stop and the Captain turns off the seatbelt sign and we have a chance to pick up all the dead passengers killed by Stinky Steve’s gas attack from seat 26B.
When you fly again, we hope you will choose American Airlines, except for Stinky Steve in seat 26B. We hope you will fly Delta. If you try to fly with us again, you’re going out on the wing so you can gag seagulls.”
More important, does a fart have DNA which can be tested and matched?
I don’t think gas had any DNA in it. To get DNA, you’d have to get a sample of something more solid.
It doesn’t bear worth thinking about that any further.
Where was Dr. Nefario?
