An Air India Flight From Chicago To Delhi Had To Turn Around To Make An Emergency Landing After Just 5 Hours Because Passengers Clogged 11 Out Of The Plane's 12 Toilets With Monster Dumps
India Today - Passengers aboard an Air India flight to Delhi were forced to circle back to Chicago after making an emergency U-turn allegedly due to its clogged toilets. A report from View From The Wing said that 11 out of 12 toilets on the flight broke down.
“On Wednesday, Air India flight 126 took off from Chicago to Delhi. However, four and a half hours into the flight, the 11th out of 12 lavatories clogged and became inoperable. One business class toilet still worked. The airline decided to fly the four and a half hours back to Chicago,” said the View From The Wing report.
Only one toilet was left to use for over 300 people onboard the flight.

This is one of those times.
I really don't have anything to add, but allow me to ask a couple questions about Air India Flight 126: the shitshow that was literally too shitty to continue flying.
First off, what in God's name were they serving people to eat on this flight?
And were these people starving to death? Did everyone simultaneously decide that airplane food was edible? Was there some secret, explosive in-flight tikka masala? Either way, once they hit the critical number 11 toilet meltdown, the flight crew had to turn the plane around mid-air which is fucking insane to think about considering they were only 4.5 hours in. (I'm no mathematician but that's an average of 2.44 monster dumps taking out a toilet per hour.)
We’ve all had bad flights. Babies screaming bloody murder, middle seats sandwiched between two land whales, or being behind some inconsiderate asshole who reclines his seat all the way into your lap. But imagine being stuck at 35,000 feet for almost five hours, only to find out the plane's toilets are breaking down one by one over and over?
That is a hell I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.
Can you imagine sitting there, watching these passengers bombard those bathrooms? Leaving a stench I can't even, and don't even, want to picture.
Barbaric.
Next question, what kind of savage takes a dump on a plane to begin with?
Next question, have you ever used a toilet on a plane? (To piss? Like a civilized human?) Those things are like fucking vacuum cleaners. They suction everything out stronger than Heather Brook. Do you know the kind of heat you need to be dropping to destroy that thing? And to have it happen 11 times?
How unlucky were the poor bastards in first class? The single working lavatory wasn't even in economy, it was the exclusive business class throne, which presumably became the most tragically popular seat in aviation history.
Shit happens. We all get that.
But when shit literally happens mid-air to the point where you have to turn an international flight around, you better be providing those passengers a lot more than refunds and accommodations. Sorting out compensation appears to be about as easy as fixing those toilets mid-flight. Air India better be getting these poor souls serious therapy because they have to be scarred for life.
