Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Maggot Infestation on Airplane!

[WaltD4Me]

Major Heebie Jeebie alert! I would have completely freaked out....a US Airlines plane had to return to the gate because it was infested with maggots and they were dropping from above and crawling onto to passengers!!!

Video and Story...

I can't understand how no one noticed them before people got onto the plane.

I heard about this on Jim Rome's show today. Funny stuff.

I honestly would have tried to jump out of the plane. -hurl-

Me too Nikki! I can't even think about it. Maggots dropping into people's hair?! I may not sleep tonight and I wasn't anywhere near that plane.

Spirit Airlines charges extra for maggots.

That was one of those videos where I said to myself before watching...you are going to regret watching this...and yeah I am completely grossed out right now

Eeeeewwww. Ick ick ick
right now I feel like showering for hours. I would have totally freaked. The would have had to physically restrain me
that is major ka-ka :-0

Has anyone read "The Lost City of Z"? There's a particularly skin-crawling (literally!) passage in that about a guy being infested with maggots.

YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!

Now, that is GROSS! I really don't understand how it went unnoticed before passengers were boarded... It sounds like US Airways handled the situation well, and I for one, would be happy with a free drink.

"I'm so sorry maggots dropped into your hair Mr. Dousek, have a gin and tonic on us!"

I prefer blended margaritas, LOL.

Can't watch the vid at work but from the description that sounds horrible.

My brother once had a tub of maggots (for fishing) and he put them in the fridge, unfortunately the plastic lid came off the tub and when I opened the fridge they all started crawling out! It's worse when they dry out and turn into flies though

 

[UrsulasShadow]

I used to work in veterinary medicine, and boy, could I tell you maggot stories!

And Simon...step away from the margaritas, young man.

Maggots on a Plane ... With Samuel L Jackson?

 

[*NikkiBell*]

They were just talking about this on Regis & Kelly. I am refusing to watch that You Tube video or I might hurl. lol Regis did say that the maggots were coming from a passenger's carry-on bag that was filled with spoiled MEAT?!! Who brings that on a plane?????

 

[SweaterInJune]

What I pictured after reading this thread was far worse than what the video showed... still really disgusting though!

 

[dalt01]

i heard the maggots had to re-book..........got routed through Philly where of course their flight was cancelled because.........well because its Philly........they had to sleep on a bench in the airport and were robbed at gunpoint............last word is they cancelled the trip and were taking Trailways back to the garbage can.........no word on weather they are getting refunded for the Motel 6 they had booked in Charlotte................

 

[hildarumpole]

I don't know which is scarier. The maggots or the person who thought they were appropriate travelling companions.

 

[mommyceratops]

Wonder if they just didn't want to pay the for a seat? Or wanted a free trip?? Or did the mom just fly away???

 

[kaligal]

Ew.

It would take more than one (or two) drinks to make me forget a maggot fell on me. Yuck.
