Alright, here is the bottom line on what happened...to make sure the FACTS are straight. The crapper stopped up shortly after taking off from Amsterdam and the crew did a good job of diverting into Shannon to get it fixed. After getting it fixed (with a good flow indication) in the sh*tter, they pressed back to Newark, where it stopped up again somewhere over the Atlantic. The sh*tter worked fine, it was some buffoon who flushed some gloves down it sometime during the flight. This ricockulous incident could have happened on any major airline.


Obstruction disrupts flight
Reports of a faulty lavatory on flight 71 from Amsterdam (AMS) to EWR have been in the media. The June 13 flight was diverted to Shannon , Ireland (SNN), and repairs were made. The lavatory repair work in SNN indicated good flow in the lavatory system. During the flight from SNN to EWR, the problem developed again. Upon landing in EWR, it was determined that someone had flushed latex gloves into the lavatory system, which caused the obstruction. There is signage posted in the onboard restrooms advising that foreign objects are not to be discarded in the lavatory system. Occasionally, these instructions are overlooked.
CO deeply regrets the serious inconvenience to its customers and is apologizing to them and compensating them for the poor conditions on the flight as well as the diversion and delay.
 
One last thought on the subject.
This is America. This was the PRIME SUSPECT.....He is innocent until proven guilty. What if CAL turned the airplane around and for some crazy reason, he wasn't really the guy who did it. Then what? Profiling? Such a bad word these days. CAL handled it right.
They had an accused guy on the plane....and I highly doubt as someone said earlier that if this guy was such a menace that the FBI would have let it go. They were probably over water by then.
 
Perhaps he should have been re-seated next to the soon to be over flowing lav. Undoubtedly he would have confessed--case closed.
 
How many of you would have changed your minds on how CAL handled this if that were your sister, aunt, friend, etc. that was found murdered?

This guy may never have to answer to the authorities because he has left the country.
 
The airline put financials and schedule protection well ahead of safety in the case. It would have been very easy to divert for multitude of problems that wouldn't have alarmed the suspect, they had already returned to the gate without this guy freaking out. Clearly they put their needs ahead of safety. If the Captain knew and elected to continue, he is an idiot, he knowingly carried an individual that lawenforcement wanted in connection with a murder. Anyone that takes CAL side on this is truely out of touch with reality.

AMEN! Finally, a reasonable person on this thread.
