MAGGOTS ON A PLANE!

Ew.

Maggots falling from an overhead bin from a spoiled container of meat forced a US Airways flight to return to the gate so the bin could be cleaned.

Passenger Donna Adamo said she noticed a couple of flies on the Monday flight when she got to her seat but didn’t think much of it. Then, as the plane was taxiing, she heard a passenger behind her causing a commotion and refusing to take her seat.

“Then I heard the word ‘maggot’ and that kind of got everybody creeped out,” she said. “All of a sudden, I felt somebody flick the back of my hair and on the front of me came a maggot, which I flicked off me.”

A passenger had the container in a carry-on bag and brought it on Monday’s flight heading from Atlanta to Charlotte, N.C., said US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher. The pilot announced that they were returning to the gate because of a “minor emergency on board” and the flight attendants told everyone to sit down and be calm, Adamo said.

   Hey rotting meat is ok if it’s in a container smaller than 3 oz.

4. “You may use your seat cushion as a floatation device in the event of a water landing. In the unlikely event we’re indefinitely accomodated on a desert island, you can also eat the maggots in your overhead compartment.”

   “Sank you for flying Lufthansa!”
