(CNN)-Guard airline passengers may already have another thing for uncontrolled passengers and even real-life snakes on aircraft-although to add their slate of impossible-affected in-flight disruption. And this is an icky:
Magots.
Yes, those dreadful organisms that thrive on fetal foods and waste have joined the pantians of things that can cause flight to change the course and waste travel plans.
On Tuesday, Delta Air Lines Flight 133 forced Amsterdam, Netherlands, Detroit, Michigan. According to Detroit TV Station Fox 2 (WJBK), an hour in flight, Airbus A330-300 had to return to the Shifol Airport in Amsterdam, when Magots fell on a passenger from an overhead bin.
The station interviewed the passenger Philip Shote, a native of the Netherlands living in Iowa, who said that he saw about a dozen beings on a woman sitting next to him.
“She was going out. She was just trying to fight these magots. … I really don’t know what was happening in my mind. I was trying to process it – hatred is one thing. We had to wait for help to come really,” Shote told the station.
Shote said that the flight crew eventually traced Magots into a passenger bag, with a rotten fish wrapped in a newspaper. He told the station that the bag was taken behind the aircraft, and it was announced that the aircraft was going back to Amsterdam.
Shote told Fox 2 that he took another flight in the US a few hours later.
CNN has not verified the details of Schotte’s account independently.
Flight tracking website flightware data shows that Udaan 133 spent just one hour and 49 minutes in the air.
Delta Air lines confirmed CNN that the flight was to turn around, but did not address the questions specifically about Magots.
In a statement sent to CNN Travel, Delta Airlines said, “We apologize to flying 133 AMS-DTW customers as their journey was improperly interrupted due to packed carry-on bags.” “The aircraft returned to the gate and the passengers were placed on the next available flight. The aircraft was removed from the service for cleaning.”
The delta has no prohibition on riding on parisible foods, including fish, unless its website has no violation of agricultural sanctions for the destination country, “according to its website.
