Video allegedly shows Delta plane forced to land because of passenger’s ‘diarrhea’ trail

It was one of the crappiest flights of all time.

Video allegedly showing the aftermath of the “biohazard” incident where a Delta passenger couldn’t contain their explosive diarrhea and forced their flight to turn around has surfaced on X.

The poster, who goes by the name of Xansby Swanson, said the footage obtained by TMZ was from his little brother’s flight out of Atlanta, Georgia, last week which became infamous after it was rerouted when “someone s—t up and down the aisle.”

The video clip shows a brown trail down the center of the plane with paper towels on most heavily soiled areas in an attempt to cover the unsightly mess.

The Friday flight from Atlanta to Barcelona, Spain, was forced to turn back around about two hours into the eight-hour journey after a pilot informed air traffic control they had suffered a “biohazard” incident on board.

“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 said on a recording from LiveATC and shared on X.

The clip shows what looks like a the tail of human feces from the center of the plane toward the front. Flight pillows were left hastily on the seats by the passengers who had to deboard the Airbus A350.

The contaminated cabin was scrubbed by staff, while the passengers on Flight DL194 were transferred and made it to Barcelona at 5:10 p.m. the next day.

Delta officials would not confirm if the passenger with the medical mishap also made it to the final destination.

“Our teams worked as quickly and safely as possible to thoroughly clean the airplane and get our customers to their final destination,” a Delta spokesperson said. 

“We sincerely apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans.”
