Yes that’s right! A US Airways flight bound from Los Angeles to Philadelphia diverted to Kansas City, Missouri, after a dog pooped in the aisle making several of the passengers ill.

Per this NBC Philadelphia article, “Dog poop forced an emergency landing, according to passengers aboard US Airways Flight 598 from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. Those passengers took to Twitter to document the smelly ordeal.

Passengers said that the large dog went to the bathroom in the plane’s aisle as many as three times, making people nearby physically ill. 

“The second time after the dog pooped they ran out of paper towels, they didn’t have anything else. The pilot comes on the radio, ‘Hey, we have a situation in the back, we’re going to have to emergency land,'” passenger Steve McCall

The plane was diverted to Kansas City, Missouri, where a cleaning crew cleaned the messes, before eventually making its way to Philadelphia, according to passengers.

The emergency landing wasn’t the only headache for those travelers. Before takeoff, Flight 598 was delayed on the tarmac at LAX for two hours for fuel problems.

US Airways spokesman Andrew Christie called the incident a “rare and unfortunate situation.”

Bottom Line

The flight eventually landed in Philadelphia a few hours later, and the passenger of the dog wants to buy the all the passengers Starbucks gift cards for the inconvenience.
