A nine-hour flight from Amsterdam to Detroit was forced to turn around Tuesday when maggots allegedly began falling on a passenger’s head from the overhead baggage compartment where a rotting fish was located .
“The lady right behind told the flight attendants that the maggots were falling on her head. I turned around and they were squirming in the seat… Absolutely disgusting,” one of the passengers on the Delta airline flight testified on Reddit on Tuesday, according to Sky news.
In all likelihood, a piece of luggage containing a rotten fish escaped security checks on Tuesday before ending up on board the plane, which was to leave Amsterdam in the morning to travel to Detroit, in the United States.
Because following only an hour of flight, maggots began to fall on the head of a passenger, who then rushed to notify the flight attendants.
It was then that they allegedly discovered a rotten fish in one of the luggage in the compartment.
“Really nice to spend 2 hours in a [vol] and discover that there are rotten fish and larvae traveling with us,” lamented a second passenger named Kelsey on to have been taken seriously, she would have stressed according to the British media.
For its part, the airline confirmed the disgusting find, indicating that it immediately turned around.
“We apologize to the customers of AMS-DTW Flight 133 as their journey was interrupted due to improperly packed carry-on baggage […] The plane returned to the gate and the passengers were placed on the next available flight,” the airline reportedly told Sky News.
The plane in question was “removed from service for cleaning,” Delta added in writing.
According to the first passenger, the man who owned the luggage remained seated when all the passengers left the aircraft. It is unclear, however, whether he will face any consequences for forcing the plane to change course.
