This is a biohazard issue: Delta flight from Atlanta to Barcelona forced to turn back after passenger experiences severe bout of diarrhea that affected the entire plane.
A Delta Airbus A350 departing from Atlanta to Barcelona had to make an emergency landing back in Atlanta due to a passenger’s horrific bout of diarrhea. The incident occurred on Friday, September 1, when the flight, DL194, was already in the air over Virginia.
The captain notified Air Traffic Control via text message, stating, “Divert to ATL – passenger diarrhea all over aircraft – biohazard.” Air traffic control recordings also captured one of the pilots confirming the situation, explaining, “It’s just a biohazard issue, we had a passenger who had diarrhea all the way through the airplane so they want us to come back to Atlanta.”
Passengers and crew members were understandably distressed by the situation. Some took to social media to share their experiences, with one individual commenting, “My partner was on that flight! It was pretty bad. It was dribbled down the aisle, smelled horrible.” Another mentioned that the vanilla-scented disinfectant used only made the situation worse.
Upon landing back in Atlanta, the aircraft underwent a five-hour cleanup operation, which included removing and replacing the carpet. Emergency vehicles and EMTs were present to assist the sick passenger. Passengers praised the crew and ground staff for their handling of the situation, with one expressing gratitude for the thorough cleaning and lack of odor.
After the cleaning process was completed, the flight resumed its journey to Barcelona around 3 am, more than five hours behind schedule. It eventually landed in Barcelona at 5:10 pm local time.
While Delta acknowledged the unexpected medical event, the airline did not provide further details. In a statement, Delta apologized to customers for the delay and inconvenience caused by the incident.
