A U.S. Airways flight, heading from Israel to Philadelphia, was forced to make an emergency landing in Rome because passengers and crew members alike started vomiting all over the damn place. Authorities are stating the puke-fest began when a “strange odor” spread through the plane on Friday night. From NBC News:
Among the crew, three flight attendants were taken by ambulance to a clinic at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport after the Airbus A330 made an “unscheduled landing” following reports of an odor in the cabin, said Martha Thomas, a spokeswoman for American Airlines, which last year merged with U.S. Airways. The others were treated at the same clinic and all were released.
It was reported the nauseated victims were also suffering from red eyes. An airline spokesperson said they are actively working to figure out the source of the odor. This isn’t a new issue for the airline as back in October, a U.S. Airways flight sent another person to the hospital due to a noxious odor.
