Someone may have done a poo so stinky it caused a plane to turn back.

Passengers expecting to fly to Dubai were disappointed when the pilot announced they were going back to Heathrow Airport because someone had dropped ‘a smelly poo in the toilet’.

People on board had been complaining of a stench, according to Tory councillor Abhishek Sachdev who was travelling, and it eventually got so bad it became a health and safety concern.

Insane! Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet! 15hrs until next flight… #britishairways — Abhishek Sachdev (@CllrAbhiSach) March 12, 2015

Mr Sachdev did not admit to being the culprit but explained what the pilot had told the passengers on Thursday night.



‘About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets,’ the councillor who works in Potters Bar Parkfield, Hertfordshire, told Mail Online.

‘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.’

He had initially tweeted about the strange incident and later complained about being made to wait hours for another flight.

‘We’re very sorry for the discomfort to our customers,’ a British Airways spokeswoman told Metro.co.uk.

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