Heard AA149 this morning asking for a divert to ORD for a toilet that was in a continuous "flush mode". Asked to hold to burn off gas, declared an emergency and still said they would land 20,000 pounds over weight. Wow.
Is there not a CB to shut off the toilet? Would that toilet just overflow and cause more problems? Just curious as to why that would cause a diversion... Was funny to hear an emergency declared for a toilet with a mind of its own.
