Weird Reason for Flight Delay

[Chananya Freedman]

You guys might find this interesting!

My flight from L.A. to New York last Tuesday was delayed 4 hours due to a woman flushing a diaper down the toilet and clogged up the bath room! They had to bring a empty plane from San Francisco and instead of taking of at the 3 we didn't leave til 7 and arrived at 4am est the next day!

I bet that not the craziest thing you heard! Any other good ones?

There was a flight, I think it was CO71, not 100%, from Amsterdam to Newark that had to divert to Shannon because of blocked lavatories that were leaking along the aisles. They resumed the flight after a nightstop in Shannon for repairs, only to have the problem re-occur. Now thats going to suck for the pax!

Was this your Virgin America flight?

Yes it was Virgin America 416 which departed at 7 PM Tuesday July 7th. If you're trying to look for archives on it, listen for the callsign redwood 416.

Isn't there a big note on the package of diapers that says, "don't flush diapers down the toilet!"

Well, I guess that was better than dry ice...
