Flatulence causes an airplane to land

December 7, 2006

Not exactly the flatulence, but the subsequent match that was lit to dispel the odor. What is the differential for this? I would say various types of malabsorption syndromes, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, bacterial overgrowth or irritable bowel syndrome to name a few.

Not charged criminally. I wonder if the airline will send her a bill for its incurred costs. This could easily be tens of thousands of dollars in direct costs, such as fuel and crew overtime.
