Plane forced to land after passenger passes gas, lights match to cover scent
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It is considered polite to light a match after passing gas. Not while on a plane.
An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.
The Dallas-bound flight was diverted to Nashville after several passengers reported smelling burning sulfur from the matches, said Lynne Lowrance, spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority. All 99 passengers and five crew members were taken off and screened while the plane was searched and luggage was screened.
The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal a "body odor," Lowrance said. She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said.
"It's humorous in a way but you feel sorry for the individual, as well," she said. "It's unusual that someone would go to those measures to cover it up."
The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane. The woman, who was not identified, was not charged in the incident.
If only I could of been on that plane!!!!!!! I could of made even a bigger deal out of it. Pull down the oxygen masks,,,, get real dramatic!!!! O yea,,, that would of been choice!
I would have just let it rip. I love to watch peoples faces as they try to figure out where the smell is coming from. That is unless it's not an sbd then I just laugh and fan it away.

Well when I have to take my morning shit tomorrow I will wait til I get onto the airplane and then drop a load. That will make the plane smell really good.
