Delta returns to Schiphol - maggots falling from overhead!

[J]

Good news for Boeing; it was an A330.

Perhaps lurid videos will be showing up on social media. Maybe Dummy Pilot will stop by and explain how often passengers bring their own meals onto planes. Excerpt:"

A suitcase containing rotten fish was in the overhead of the Airbus A330-300.

But according to sources to AIRLIVE, maggots started to get out of the suitcase and some fell on passengers seated in the economy class.

Once the aircraft landed, the passengers deplaned and the suitcase was put into a bag to be burnt.

Then there is this:

The traveler at Boston Logan International Airport said the bag contained dried fish.

But upon further examination, airport agents discovered that it was in fact mummified remains, which included heads, belonging to four monkeys, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.

The incident took place on Thursday at a security screening for passengers. A canine officer named Buddey sniffed out the dead and dehydrated monkeys from inside luggage belonging to a traveler who recently returned to the U.S. from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Raw or minimally processed meat from certain wild animals, otherwise known as bushmeat, is not allowed to enter the U.S. largely out of health concerns.

"Bushmeat can carry germs that can cause illness, including the Ebola virus," Julio Caravia, the area port director at CBP Boston, said in a statement.

The traveler on Thursday carried about 8 pounds of bushmeat. The Centers for Disease Control marked it for destruction, according to the CBP.

Airport agents around the country have encountered a variety of meats. In 2022, agents at Washington Dulles Airport confiscated charred bat. In 2019, officers at O'Hare International Airport intercepted about 32 pounds of rat meat.

"Mummified monkey heads" is the name of my postmodern punk band.

"Mummified monkey heads" is the name of my postmodern punk band.

I don't know why I initially read postmortem, and it made sense.

I blame the A-300.

Coming soon: economy-class tickets for $x, or for about $x + $25 you can get "maggot-free economy" tickets.

Didn't they learn anything from movies?

I blame the A-300.

Decomposing cheap composites was my first thought, but...

...rotten fish...

...I blame Perie.

I don't know why I initially read postmortem...

Me too

Me too

You woke feminist Karen. Never say "Me too". Say "So did I" instead.

[Not_Karl]

Say "So did I" instead.

no
"Did" has a strong association with "died", the message would Not_be clear.

Here are a number of different ways to enjoy rat meat:
