Flatulence Leads to Grounding of Plane

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 5) - 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

Does this coincide with George's return from Green Bay?

What an annoyance. So just because that woman didn't want to fess up to farting, it ruined over 100 people's day.

They wouldn't let her back on the plane. She must have been really embarrassed about the whole thing and then not to be let back on the plane...

She should be.

The article I read made it sound like the woman had irritable bowel syndrome or some other condition which made her really gassy.

Good thing she wasn't on the Hindenburg!

Didn't she think people would wonder why she was lighting a match?? If she hadn't lit the match she could just look around like, "where is that smell coming from"!

AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

You can pass gas on an airplane. Just don't be an idiot and light a match afterwards.

[Yankeeah]

So you can take matches on a plane, but not 4 ounces of water??

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that's weird.

Yeah, you can take up to 4 packs of matches, I believe. You can carry on a big bottle of water, you just would have to buy it after you go thru security.

I had the "pleasure" of sitting next to some guy on the one flight home who as soon as he got in his seat, began snoring louder than a freight train AND pumping out some serious gas blasts.

Why don't people just say "fart"? "Pass gas" sounds weird.

Anyway, you are correct. The thread title (and those of articles I've read) is misleading. That annoys me.

I knew it was a woman when I read the description. Stupid stupid, dont they carry around perfume? just perfume yourself, or blame it on your husband

All that beautifully re-circulated air while sitting in a plane ...

If someone started spraying perfume next to me on a plane I would have to move, since that affects my asthma. Then again toxic farts would do the same thing.

A couple of weeks ago we were at a restaurant and this woman was wearing so much perfume it was like a fog surrounding her. We asked to be moved to a table at the other end of the room.

Ya know, it's been a long, long time since I lit a fart, but the last place I'd hike my legs up above my head in my seat so I could see a blue flame shoot out of my butt would be on an airplane.

[Trish]

I think she did it in the bathroom, not in her seat.

[BillBuckner]

She should have told them whoever smelt it dealt it.

I usually say "rip ass".

OMG! So that's what she was doing with the match?

I thought people do that to cut the smell. Never knew about the blue flame!

George Carlin's list of farts seems appropriate at this point:

1. The Fizz
2. The Fazz
3. The Fizz-Fazz
4. The Rip Sh*t
5. The Tear Ass
6. The Snorter
7. The One That Goes "Whoosh"
