In a news story I heard on KRLD, a women was just a little too embarrassed (selfish?) and caused an entire airplane to divert to make an emergency landing. She had gas and used matches to cover up the odor. Other passangers smelled the burnt matches, alerted the flight crew and the plane makes an emergency landing. Approx. four hours later, the people resume their trek to DFW. So one person who is afraid that she might have an odor has caused an entire plane to divert. How much will this cost American Airlines? Not only do they do a one for two sale on the flight itself, but they probably have to offer upgrades, free fights, etc. to the other passangers. Lady, it is a biological function. Get over it, we all fart. We are not in Victorian times when women could not even possably do something as dastardly as fart. If you do not want to ‘pass gas’ while flying maybe you should think about what you eat before you fly. I know what not eat as well. If I eat it, then guess what? Biology happens. The best part was the bomb sniffing dogs that were brought on board, they traced the smell to her seat. Now all of the internet knows, not just a few people on board an airplane. The lady will not be charged, even though it is a crime to bring matches on board civilian aircraft.
UPDATE: To the woman who wanted to meekly fart on the airplane: you were on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jay was thinking you had too much Taco Bell. The whole world knows lady. Good job of keeping your G.I. problem confined.
