If you thought the viral Delta “Poop” plane was stinky, an Air India flight from Chicago to New Delhi had to make an unexpected U-turn after 11 out of its 12 toilets became completely clogged. Yes, you read that right—one toilet for 300 passengers.
The flight, which typically takes around 14 hours, was just five hours into its journey when passengers found themselves in a rather uncomfortable situation. With only one functioning toilet left—located in business class—everyone else was left to hold it in.
And let’s be real, the thought of using a toilet that’s been through the wringer of curry-fueled digestion is enough to make anyone reconsider their life choices.
Check out the viral video here:
Upon landing back in Chicago, Air India launched an investigation and discovered that the culprits behind the clogging were “bags, rags, and articles of clothing” that had been flushed down the toilets. It seems some passengers took “flushable” a bit too literally.
Now, let’s talk about the logistics here. Air India, in its infinite wisdom, equipped this flight with 12 toilets, which is quite generous. But with the way things turned out, it’s almost as if they were preparing for a full-on bathroom brawl. Who knew that a flight could turn into a game of “who can hold it the longest”?
In a related travel tale, one passenger shared their experience of flying in what they described as the worst first-class cabin ever. For a whopping $6,300 ticket, they were greeted with mildew-covered headphones, a cold towel, and a food menu that promised much but delivered little. The entertainment system? Broken for the entire 15-hour flight.
