Fasten seatbelts and prepare for a trumpy ride
December 12th 2006 An American Airlines flight en route from Washington to Dallas had to make an emergency landing in Nashville earler this week after passenger’s reported a smell of burning. All 99 passengers and five crew were evacuated and had to go through security again with their luggage. One however, was not allowed back on the plane.
After bomb-sniffing dogs uncovered spent matches under a seat, the FBI questioned passengers from the immediate seating area, and uncovered the culprit: an unnamed Dallas female who admitted striking the matches to mask her flatulence.
The woman, who has a medical condition, was not charged. It is thought passengers benefitted from a strong tail wind for the duration of their delayed flight. More articles from HSM News Desk: |
