    A plane was forced to go back to the airport and land because somebody had done a "smelly poo".

    The plane was heading from London Heathrow to Dubai on Thursday.

    It should have been a seven-hour flight but the pilot had to return to the airport after just 30 minutes.

    Abhishek Sachdev, a passenger on the plane, tweeted: "Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet."

    It's thought somebody had some toilet trouble during the flight and caused a bit of a stink.

    Some of the air in a plane's cabin is recycled, so it was judged safest to land the plane instead of letting the smelly air circulate in the cabin.

    This is brilliant. I may have done some smelly bathroom visits in my time, but never quite managed to cause a plane to land as a result. What an achievement!

    Thanks that made me chuckle. I wonder did they know who the culprit was, I can't imagine anyone complaining about turning back.

    Made me laugh too :D

    Apparently they got put up in a hotel for the night, but yeah doubt I'd be complaining too much either.

    Being so early in the flight I would speculate that the passengers knew the identity of the pooer. Kay, back to you

    Lol.

    Abhishek Sachdev, who was on board tweeted: "Insane. Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet."

    He told a newspaper: "The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd.

    "About 10 minutes later he said 'you may have noticed there's a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets'.

    "He said it was liquid faecal excrement. Those are the words he used."

    Not surprised because he certainly topped my list of suspects.

    Well it's safe to say he certainly browned off a few people on that flight.

    Sounds like the system was completely blocked up after 30 minutes, just imagine what it would be like after seven hours! :eek:

    Whoever pilots the plane, shoulders the blame.

    I'm told Fulton Crown was heading over to Asia on Important Company Business on the day in question.

    In reality it was a bit worse than a smelly poo, there was a leak and liquid was flowing from the toilets down the aisle.
