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.

So the interesting thing with Fox News is users migrated to Newsmax when Fox leaned towards that the election wasn't rigged.

Now Newsmax is subtly putting that there is no evidence of fraud, and the users in Newsmax are getting angry 😂

Perfect “news” channel to report on shitty matters

[–] robocall 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought fox business was a different entity than fox news

[–] dogslayeggs 4 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure they are the same entity. Local Fox affiliate channels are different entities that can be all over the political and quality map, but Fox Business is within the Fox News corporation. They are in the same political area but with higher journalistic standards for research.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not in any meaningful sense. They're both run by the same people. Fox is Fox is Fox.

I was on a plane after an event like this. I saw the maintenance guys swap out an entire seat lol

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder how many news outlets has their auto correct turn "twitter" into "X, formerly known as Twitter," as a script of sorts, 'cause I see that a lot lately. :D

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I wish somebody would hack these servers and modify the scripts to change it to "Xitter, pronounced shitter" instead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just get a browser extention to do it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That would only do it for mine

[–] FuglyDuck 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

“All the way through the plane.”

That’s gonna smell like flowers!

That said… how is this news?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Even news outlets shitpost every once in a while

[–] robocall 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is business news, and a biohazard that effected over 300 people.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This is business news

Yeah, that guys sure was doing his business.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Whenever I do business it doesn't make the news. Guess I need to eat more cheese

[–] SpaceNoodle 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I sincerely doubt it was all the way.

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 1 year ago

No, it was all the way. He started in the cockpit and worked his way to the back of the plane.

[–] FuglyDuck 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean. probably not. that's just... what the article says. But I suspect it was "enough".

[–] SpaceNoodle 3 points 1 year ago

The article didn't say "enough of the way."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've seen cases of explosive diarrhea you wouldn't believe :D

[–] Salad_Fries 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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”…

[–] SpaceNoodle 2 points 1 year ago

See, that was All The Way. Nobody's provided us with a similar recounting of the events on the plane.

[–] SymphonicResonance 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Passenger could have been being quite thorough. Filling up all the lavatories.

[–] SpaceNoodle 1 points 1 year ago

There's a lot more to a plane than just lavatories.

What awful treatment of a human being.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I’m afraid we’re due to see more of this as the “fuck your feelings” crowd grows louder and more emboldened by reactions like this.

[–] kevinbacon 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Fucking gigachad, the whole flight would have laughed at him if he just shit in his chair so he decided to shit down the isle and make it EVERYONE'S problem.

I'd think somebody named @[email protected] would have seen some shit before

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Lucky for me I only deal on solids... 🤠

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I now feel less embarrassed about vomiting on a plane one time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This brings an entire new meaning to saying "had a shitty flight", for all parts involved. Including the plane!

(so many jokes waiting to be made)

read in the high pitched voice of Robin Williams

You! Cabin Lady! Tell the pilots to turn the plane around or I am going to shit all over these people! I am not kidding! I had three black bean burritos with spicy salsa and washed it down with a gallon of gin! This will not end well!

[–] Nastybutler 4 points 1 year ago

Welp. This tops my most embarrassing moment by a country mile
