Delta flight diverted after passenger reportedly has ‘diarrhea all the way through the airplane’ Pilot tells air traffic controller, ‘This is a biohazard issue’ By Greg Wehner FOXBusiness
A Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Barcelona, Spain was diverted back to its original airport after a passenger experienced an “onboard medical issue,” which was reportedly a case of “diarrhea all the way through the plane.”
The website FlightRadar24.com shows Delta Flight DL194 was about two hours into its eight-hour flight when it turned around over Virginia and headed back to Atlanta.
A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, who appears to devote his page to flight material shared audio recorded from the Airbus A350 that was broadcast on LiveATC.com.
On the recording, a pilot tells air traffic control, “This is a biohazard issue.”
“We’ve had a passenger who’s had diarrhea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta,” the pilot added.
A Delta spokesperson confirmed with Fox News Digital there was no emergency landing because of the biohazard situation, but the flight did return to its original airport.
“Delta flight 194 from Atlanta to Barcelona returned to Atlanta following an onboard medical issue,” the spokesperson said. “Our teams worked as quickly and safely as possible to thoroughly clean the airplane and get our customers to their final destination. We sincerely apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans.”
There were 336 passengers onboard the flight that landed without further incident the following day, 8 hours and 6 minutes behind schedule.
I sincerely doubt it was all the way.
No, it was all the way. He started in the cockpit and worked his way to the back of the plane.
I mean. probably not. that’s just… what the article says. But I suspect it was “enough”.
The article didn’t say “enough of the way.”
I’ve seen cases of explosive diarrhea you wouldn’t believe :D
Back when i was a teenager, i was a lifeguard. One day, a mother came to the pool with 3 young children. They were playing by the stairs in the shallow end of the pool when one of the children got out & proceeded to diarrhea on the floor. Mother swiftly picked up the kid in a panic & brought him clear to the other side of the pool to grab her towel. Once she had her towel, she proceeded to continue carrying the continuously shitting child back toward the shallow end on the other side of the pool & into the locker room.
This kid left a trail of shit that entirely circled the pool + a path to the locker room (total was easily over 150 linear feet of diarrhea.)
I would know as i was the dumb teenager who was tasked with cleaning it up… it was a very grueling day.
In short, i think it is very believable that it was “all the way”…
See, that was All The Way. Nobody’s provided us with a similar recounting of the events on the plane.
Passenger could have been being quite thorough. Filling up all the lavatories.
There’s a lot more to a plane than just lavatories.
