Flatulence on plane sparks emergency landing

This had to be humiliating! http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/12/06....ap/index.html

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal a "body odor," Lowrance said. She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said. Beans.

"The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane. The woman, who was not identified, was not charged in the incident." I wonder if she's on the no fly list now? Be pretty humiliating to end up on the list for passing gas. M_

She shoulda just sat on it, those seats should be pretty good at absorbing ass-gas ... but quite frankly, if you're dumb enough to strike a match on a plane in a post 9/11 world to cover up a FART, then you don't deserve to fly.

That's pretty funny. She ruined her chances of taking any trips due to one single solitary fart. Unless she likes buses... those are full of human-methane.

I think the fact she was banned was because she was a contender for the next Darwin award. If she was not stopped, next time she would probably try to open a window or a door to 'let some air in'

Maybe they need to staret offering BEANO to passengers before the in flight meals Well some peoples farts are quite nasty. My brother for instance when I was a kid i remember one fart was so rank it would wake up the whole houshold

Isn't striking matches extremely dangerous after you've just let rip?
