A320 Lav- need earplugs

[satpak77]

Is it just me that needs earplugs when you flush the lav in the A320? Sounds like a turbine engine....

 

[zonker234]

It is...albeit a small one...what better to shred the turdy like material that lurks near the bottom of the bowl...european (pronounced " your peeing") efficiency at its best.

The suction those crappers have would bring a tear to Al Bundey's eye. Just make sure your shirt tail is up before you flush.............could be ugly.

The French can really suck ya know?

 

[airborn]

need ear plugs for the part before also

The 737NGs have the same thing on them. Rumor has it that a seriously fat lady got stuck on one b/c she sat down with the horseshoe still up and flushed (musta been a courtesy flush) whilst sitting. Probably an urban legend but funny none the less.

It truly happened to an airline that i worked for in Europe. It was an Avro RJ and the lady got stuck for 20 minutes. The flight attendants managed to let air flow through so they could get her off. She was in pain because the blood flow to her legs stopped. Her behind was like one big bruise. Kudo to the flight attendant that massaged her, because from what i heard, it wasn't pretty.
The captain who's a good friend of mine, told me that he'll always remember the reaction from the guy in ops when he requested for assistance.

Don't really know if it's funny or not... Sorry for killing the urban legend, but this is a true story.

Well, according to Snopes.com, apparently the story isn't true, although it certainly sounds funny:

Mythbusters did it... The had this great big silicone arse and a suction toilet complete with pressure gauges and everything. At first they couldn't duplicate it because of the space between the seat and the basin provided airflow to prevent a seal.

Eventually, the made it work somehow (I don't remember details) and determined it to be "plausible, but not likely"

Gotta love that show.

The concept of that show is great. Unfortunately the execution is substandard purely due to the hosts. If they could just replace those two hosts, it could be a very entertaining show. Saddly, as is, I can't stomach more than about 5 minutes of it because of those two baffoons making really bad 'jokes' all the time. Sometimes when I'm really curious about the experiments I'll just keep the TV on mute and listen to music while I watch the demonstrations.

Reminds me of a great chemistry teacher I had once. He would always do these crazy experiments for us and was quite the showman in doing them. Frequently they involved fire/explosions/etc... which would keep even the most study-averse students riveted.

Must be jetBlue's fault.

 

[Laughing_Jakal]

Did it happen on Jetblue?

Listen, If this happened on JetBlue, did they make the Jumpseaters wipe the woman's Arse?

"Hey Jumpseater, if you don't want to clean the cabin, we got this gigantic subcutaneous hematoma on this ladies buttocks to massage....your choice."

I know the front-enders if they have the time will gladly throw on the rubber gloves and help out. Its just what they do there.

Southwest has their fuel hedges...to each their own.

Giant Sucking sound

Didn't Ross Perot describe the "Giant Sucking Sound" as the RJ group taking jobs away from the legacy carriers and ruining the industry?

Now that is pretty ******** funny. I haven't flushed an A-320 lav in a few months, but I seem to recall that the suction part lasts a good 2 or 3 secs. Someone with too much time on their hands during a turn needs to video this and post it...
