One commenter on X, who said their partner was on the Delta flight, reported that it “smelled horrible” and that vanilla-scented disinfectant used to mask the odor “only made it smell like vanilla s---.”
Hahahahhaha.
INCREDIBLE stench if someone on a neighboring DELTA flight could smell the dog shit on this UNITED flight
They were relating in the article about another similar event on a Delta flight that had to divert for a human passenger's diarrhea.
Maybe it's just because I clean up dog poop everyday but human diarrhea is so much worse
Yeah even with code shares I don't think Delta and United are ever the same carrier. Maybe?
Seems unlikely though. Sky West and smaller carriers don't usually share flights between multiple big carriers afaik.
It must have been a truly … profound…. Smell if they weren’t able to clean it up after 2 hours and had to divert.
Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can't just have been a bit of a bad smell...
Maybe there’s a formula, like cost per puke * pukers and when that exceeds the divert cost, they just go for it
Someone's seen Fight Club 😁
which airline do you work for?
a major one
dog softly growls
There was a really rich person pulling strings
I can't fathom the thinking of people who believe that adding more smell will make a bad smell better.
Some smells mask smell of shit better. There's even an old-school method of lighting and putting out the match after you did number 2: sulfur smoke kills the shittiness of ahit smell somehow
Betcha that if it happened in coach they would've kept going.
With a PA message that there is a free meal in the aisle for whoever wants it
Chicken or fish? Or poop?
Fuckin Boeing at it again.
Probably not. With the build quality of Boeing planes, the floor would probably have collapsed under the weight of the turd 😉
boeing
wtf i love this dog now
If it had pooped in the coach aisle, they would have just stayed in the air.
If it happened in coach they would have turned the heat up so people could smell it better.
Oh ffs another Boeing headline—-
Oh, ok, oh that’s good. Good dog
Sounds like someone's poorly trained "service animal" that they brought on the plane without being crated. I think we've let loopholes like this exist long enough. Have a legitimate service animal you want to bring somewhere normal animals would not be allowed? Be prepared to show documentation certifying them as such. Have an emotional support animal? Fuck off. That's not a get out of consequences free pass.
The same hopefully goes for all humans to certify they are potty trained?
Have an emotional support animal? Fuck off. That’s not a get out of consequences free pass.
Unless this varies wildly by country, it's not. And the major reason for your downvotes would be that this is exactly how it works already. You need paperwork to be allowed a support animal on a plane.
This was in first class, it was almost certainly someone's purse dog that they let out of the crate and not a service animal.
Don't delegitimized service animals based on a whim or opinion.
lol people defending a rich person taking up an extra seat for an animal. I’d like to see anyone here have the same attitude when their 5 hour flight gets diverted.
That poor, poor dog!!... it sounds like something serious like pancreatitis.
