This is the best summary I could come up with:
Maintenance crews spent five hours cleaning the Delta Airlines Airbus A350 after its enforced early landing, including replacing an aisle carpet ruined in the incident.
Passengers, reportedly including the one suffering diarrhea, were allowed to re-board after an eight-hour delay, making it to Barcelona on Saturday afternoon with no further incident.
Accounts from some onboard posted to social media described flight crew doing their best to mop up the mess with paper towels and scented disinfectant.
Another described cabin crew placing an absorbent paper “runner” over the aisle, and passengers having to climb over seats to avoid it as they left the plane at Atlanta.
An audio recording of a conversation between the pilot and air traffic control revealed the reason for the jet’s sudden turnaround over central Virginia.
The incident came a week after Air Canada apologized to two passengers who were booted from a flight from Seattle to Montreal because they complained about being made to sit in seats covered in vomit.
