Flatulence leads to flight diversion
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1 [ No Comment. -Ed. ] http://www.usatoday.com:80/travel/fl...-landing_x.htm Flatulence leads to flight diversion NASHVILLE - Flatulence brought 99 passengers on an American Airlines flight to an unscheduled visit to Nashville early Monday morning. American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority. The plane landed safely. The FBI, Transportation Safety Administration and airport authority responded to the emergency, Lowrance said. The passengers and five crewmembers were brought off the plane, together with all the luggage, to go through security checks again. Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches. The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal body odor, Lowrance said. The woman lives near Dallas and has a medical condition. The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane. "American has banned her for a long time," Lowrance said. She was not charged but could have been. While it is legal to bring as many as four books of paper safety matches onto an aircraft, it is illegal to strike a match in an airplane, Lowrance said.

Flatulence leads to flight diversion
How about the first sentence after the Nashville byline: "NASHVILLE -
Flatulence brought ....." Or the title "Flatulence leads to flight diversion". I guess they felt they did not need to repeat it further. I wonder why this lady chose to cover the smell with matches rather than air freshner, etc. Very odd. "Hatunen" wrote in message ... I don't see anything about flatulence in the article.
