Air flight from Chicago to New Delhi was forced last Wednesday to return for several hours on its flight after multiple bathrooms were clogged on the plane with rags, clothes and plastic bags, according to the airline.
The journey, Air India AI126, was five hours away from her journey, when she was forced to circumvent, according to Flightaware on Tracking.
The crew was first notified that some toilets were out of the arrangement for an hour and 45 minutes from the trip. A spokesman for an Air India said in a statement to CNN, who later decided that eight of 12 squares were “not suitable for service”, “which causes discomfort for everyone on the plane.”
The subsequent investigation into the accident revealed that “polyethylene bags, breaches, and clothes” are among other elements that were wiped below the terminals and “stuck in the plumbing”, as stated in the statement.
The situation is revealed as the plane, the Boeing 777-300er plane, was over the Atlantic Ocean, but due to restrictions on night operations at European airports, a decision was taken to return to Chicago.
“The transfer decision was completely taken in the interest of passengers and passenger safety,” the spokesman said.
Data on Flightaware showed that the total flight of the plane was about 10 hours and that it turned through Greenland.
The company said that once they arrived in Chicago, passengers were provided with accommodations in hotels and alternative flights.
The spokesperson noted that this was not the first time that strange bodies were found on Air India toilets – “blankets, underwear, and diapers, among other waste that is surveyed to the bottom of the toilets on other trips.”
