*A Delta flight from Atlanta had to turn around Friday night after a passenger had diarrhea “all the way through” the plane.
The flight headed to Barcelona was about two hours out when it turned back because a passenger was having a “medical issue.” According to Business Insider, in an audio transmission from the flight deck, the pilot said, “This is a biohazard issue.”
“We’ve had a passenger who’s had diarrhea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta,” the pilot continued. The audio was posted on X (formally Twitter) by user @@thenewarea51 (see below).
It took about eight hours for the flight to take off again for Barcelona due to the delay.
