New Jersey (eCanadaNow) - People traveling by plane have become use to bad food, long waits and maybe even the occasion yelling child. However passangers aboard Continental flight 71 traveling from Ireland to New Jersey had to put up with a lot more "crap."
The 168 passengers on the flight had to deal with leaking sewage from the lavatories for the entire duration of their flight.
Flight crew encouraged people not to eat or drink during the flight so they would not need to use the washroom.
The plane did have one working toilet.
The flight resumed the next day after the problem appeared to have been fixed. But over the Atlantic, the problem returned, said Continental spokesperson Dave MessingWhat could cause such a problem? Airline officials say the cause of the leakage was due to someone "trying" to flush a latex glove down the toilet.
Continental said they were very sorry about the problem and gave passengers travel vouchers.
