British Airways flight to Dubai forced to return to Heathrow Airport after 'smelly poo in the toilet' becomes unbearable for passengers
 

 

A town councillor from Hertfordshire says a British Airways flight to Dubai was forced to return to London due to a foul odour emanating from an overflowing toilet.

Hertsmere councillor Abhishek Sachdev, who represents Potters Bar Parkfield, said the seven-hour flight was aborted ‘because of a smelly poo in the toilet’.

Cabin crew were unable to fix the problem and the smell became unbearable for passengers seated nearby, forcing the plane to turn around near Brussels and land at Heathrow Airport.

 

 

Mr Sachdev, a Tory councillor, said the flight departed on time Thursday night and everything seemed fine until the captain made an announcement about 30 minutes after take-off.

He told MailOnline Travel: ‘The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd.

 

‘About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets.

‘He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used. He said it’s not a technical fault with the plane, and he was very adamant about that.’

The captain informed passengers that the plane’s crew had examined the problem, but were unable to fix it.

He told them that the plane would be forced to return to London for health and safety reasons.

Passengers were initially told that they would board another flight in three hours, but it turned into a 15-hour delay, said Mr Sachdev, who was travelling with his pregnant wife, Rupa, and their two-year-old daughter, Shravani.

He said the airline offered an apology and provided hotel accommodation and food vouchers, but claimed BA ground staff were unprepared and told the travellers to contact the Civil Aviation Authority for compensation.

 

Mr Sachdev, who wasn’t seated near the toilet in question, said passengers departed for Dubai yesterday at 1pm.

He said: ‘It’s obviously disappointing to lose a whole day of your trip. You might expect it on some random airline, but you wouldn’t expect it from British Airways.’

After the plane landed at Heathrow, the councillor tweeted: ‘Insane! Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet! 15hrs until next flight/’

A British Airways spokesperson told MailOnline Travel: 'We're very sorry for the discomfort to our customers. ​

'We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the next day.'

Meet the gentleman with what is widely considered the world's most unfortunate name - Guilherme Carabagiale F**k.

The Brazilian student has the unusual last name - which he insists is actually pronounced 'Foo-kee' - thanks to his German heritage.

The talented sportsman insists he isn't ashamed of his name - but admits that he find it easier to be identified by his other surname of Carabagiale when playing college basketball in Canada.

The Cecil Rhodes statue at Cape Town Uni looks like it's going to be pulled down after years of protest from people, a bit strange for me and I actually think the Grauniad hits the nail on the head.

A lot of black students were pelting his statue with their own faeces as it became roundly known that he had called Africans 'Sub human'.

A bit of an areshole but........................

 

 

A convicted fraudster used an "ingenious" escape plot to trick prison wardens into letting him go free, a court has heard.

Wandsworth inmate Neil Moore was on remand when he used an illicit mobile phone to create a fake email account.

He posed as a senior court clerk and sent bail instructions to prison staff, who released him on 10 March 2014.

His deception was uncovered when solicitors went to interview him three days later, only to find him gone.

Moore, 28, from Ilford, east London, handed himself in three days later.

'Extraordinary inventiveness'

Southwark Crown Court heard he had set up a fake web domain which closely resembled that of the court service's official address.

He then emailed the prison's custody inbox with instructions for his release.

The court heard Moore registered the bogus website in the name of investigating officer Det Insp Chris Soole, giving the address and contact details for the Royal Courts of Justice.

Prosecutor Ian Paton said: "A lot of criminal ingenuity harbours in the mind of Mr Moore. The case is one of extraordinary criminal inventiveness, deviousness and creativity, all apparently the developed expertise of this defendant".

The judge, Recorder David Hunt QC, described the behaviour as "ingenious" criminality.

Voice impersonation

Moore had previously used four different aliases to commit fraud worth £1,819,000 in total.

Posing as staff from Barclays Bank, Lloyds Bank, and Santander he managed to persuade large organisations to give him vast sums of money.

Sometimes he answered calls from victims using a man's voice and then pretended to transfer the call to a colleague before resuming the conversation in a woman's voice, the court heard earlier.

He was so convincing police initially co-charged his partner Kristen Moore with the deception. All charges against her have now been dropped.

Moore, who has pleaded guilty to eight counts of fraud and one count of escape from lawful custody, will be sentenced on 20 April.

What an extraordinary waste of talent.

Sounds like an x-rated episode of Worzel Gummidge.
