New low in air travel Flight diverted because of a man smearing feces

I am continually amazed and horrified by the new lows we keep seeing in air travel. Its basically become a flying cattle car where ever form of bad behavior is being seen. Its tough for many of us as growing up flying in the 70's it was a whole different mind set. It was a privilege to fly, we dressed up, we acted like humans etc.

Now a plane flying from Chicago to Hong Kong has had to divert because some fool decided that he would smear his feces all over the bathrooms. Not only that he took off his shirt and tried to jam one of the lavatories.

Perhaps its time to intact some serious penalties for this kind of stuff above and beyond what they have on the books now etc.

We need a no fly list for these idiots
We also perhaps need some sort of cert of mental stability before anybody boards.

Someone had to do it

IMO he should be tied up outside the plane and everyone gets a free bitch slap...

2 if you could smell it.

Happens a lot. There was a guy I would not let into my bar because he was notorious for "smearing". Its a bad day at work when you gotta clean that.

Get ahold of yourself!

That's just gross... I took a flight maybe 5 years ago and this rude ghetto type woman came out of the lavatory, well I went in as she was coming out and the seat was covered in blood. Good thing all I had to do was pee.

our new muslim citizens crouch with their shoes on the toiletseats, take a dump and sprinkle the rest of the toilet and floor with the water they use to wash their asshole. but at least you can leave, in an airplane however, not...

It sounds like there was something wrong with him, and when they pressurized he had a reaction to it. It wouldn't be the first time someone was sick and reacted to the pressure change and did something like this.

Yet another excuse not to fly. I used to enjoy it, but I got out while the getting was good.

If you are old enough to recall what flying was like in the 1970's, you know what the real problem is........flying has become way too cheap! Any nut bar or feral animal can fly cheap these days. And to make matters worse, this has happened as standards of civility have gone into the commode. Flying today reminds me of the movie "Con Air".

I do remember the 70s when it was a very special occasion to fly, everybody dressed up nicely, and there was this rare thing called CIVILITY. Now people are rude, babies are screaming, kids are running loose, the seats cram you in like sardines next to people that you are so close to you know what they had for breakfast, and the little pillows, when you can get them, smell like farts.

Mentally ill adults play with their poo. Not even my infant children played with it when their diapers were full. I would freak out if I went into a bathroom and it had excrement all over. Some other poster mentioned that pressurization issues may have caused this yayhoo to play with his doody in the bathroom. Really? Normal people pop their ears.

We had a campground and it is kinda normal when certain people demand free stuff and you would refuse they trash the place. Had one pull his dump valve and drive out blowing his horn and flipping us off because he overstayed 2 days and we called the police to get him out. The police happened to be waiting for him to leave because they knew they could get him for something. Funny to watch them load the trailer and truck on flatbeds about a quarter mile down the road.

There are several illnesses, such as encephalitis, that react poorly to pressure changes. Standard pressure for aircraft before the 787 was 8,000 feet IIRC. I've seen a number of cases where q passenger that didn't even know they were sick got to altitude and just seemed to snap. They were usually found later to have some illness.

I wonder if this is a "no fly list" offense?

Should be.

Out the door, no parachute.
