Airplane toilet drama


BNE: An American woman did not need to fasten her seatbelt yesterday on a trans-Atlantic flight from London to New York. While she was sitting on the toilet, a high-pressure vacuum sealed her to the toilet seat, making it impossible for her to stand up.

Last night the woman filed a complaint with United Airlines after her embarrassing ordeal on the Boeing 747 flight.

She got sucked in after pushing the flush button while seated, starting a system to clean the toilet by vacuum. She was a large woman so there were no air spaces between her behind and the toilet seat.

She could not get up by herself and had to sit on the toilet until the flight had landed / so that the airport technicians could help her get loose. ��She was stuck there for over three hours,�� an airline spokesperson explained.

That kills that awesome urban legend about some dude getting half his colon sucked out because he was taking a dump on an airplane crapper and flushed while still sitting.

Didn't they prove this busted on Myth Busters?

That may be an urban legend, but watch out for swimming pool drains:

And here I thought I had breaking news. My co-worker sent me the article. I guess you can't believe everything you read.

The part that gets me into thinking this can't possibly be true, is -- why on earth would you flush an airplane toilet seat while you were still sitting on it?????????

Smell limitation?
