Aero-News Quote of the Day

"I've never felt so offended in all my life. I felt like I had been physically abused and neglected. I was forced to sit next to human excrement for seven hours."

Source: Collin Brock, a passenger onboard Continental Airlines flight 1970 last week. About two hours into the flight from Amsterdam to New Jersey, lavatory problems forced an unscheduled landing in Shannon, Ireland to correct the problem. The unscheduled pit stop morphed into an overnight stay, and the next morning, the same passengers boarded the same jet to continue their trip to Newark. But, shortly after takeoff, the plumbing problems began again, this time in earnest, and raw sewage began seeping into the cabin.
