Maggots On A Plane! Seriously, Frickin Maggots On A Plane In The Overhead Compartment

[Sooner Fan#1]

This thread title brought up a memory for me.

Back in the early 90's we were living in Germany.

It was govn housing that was leased from the Germans by the military.

Old housing that had been built to house the SS officers that were at the Kaserne that was located at the end of my block.

(I have a lot of interesting stories about living in that bldg LOL, I won't go into them here)

Anyway, it was 3 stories of apts. It had a basement, and an attic formally used as maids quarters above.

The balconies had been added at a later date than the bldg was built. They were concrete and the floor of the balconey did not meet flush with the wall of open cinderblock (lacy pattern) that created the enclosure.

One day, I walked out to put our garbage in the can there on the balconey to be taken down at the end of the day to the dumpster. I saw all this white rice covering the floor of my balconey.

I stood there for a minute thinking WTH did that come from and saw that it was falling from the balconey above us onto my balconey floor through that gap.

It was maggots.

The family above us, were taking dirty diapers and tossing them onto the balconey without putting them in garbage bags or a garbage can and had collected a massive pile of diapers.

The maggots had infested those diapers and were literally falling from up there.

I did not wait for my Husband to come home LOL I called him at work (no cell phones in those days) he walked home from the Kaserne and promptly walked back got the guy that lived upstairs with is wife and kids and told him he had to clean that up right this minute LOLOLOLOLOL

Aye, the stories I could tell

That's exactly why I don't eat rice....just odd animal parts....well...I've never been a normal person..why should I start now LOL

Rats found on plane just before takeoff

SYDNEY - Rats found on a Qantas plane shortly before takeoff forced the plane to be grounded for more than a day.

The flight crew was doing a final check of the cabin before passengers boarded a Sydney-to-Brisbane flight Tuesday afternoon. They discovered the rats in a compartment holding medical equipment, including a defibrillator....

If you find maggots on the plane then put rats on the plane to eat the maggots and then put snakes on a plane to eat the rats and then put Samuel L. Jackson on the plane to take care of the snakes! I'm a genius! :great:

Maggots cut short plane trip for two Syracuse area women

It wasn’t “Snakes on a Plane,” but two Central New York women were plenty creeped out when maggots began falling on them as they sat on a USAirways flight to Atlanta on Monday.

Desiree Harrell, of Syracuse, noticed maggots falling out of a closed overhead compartment as the plane was starting to taxi toward takeoff for Charlotte Monday afternoon. She told flight attendants she would not sit in that seat.

Sitting in front of her was Donna Adamo, of Skaneateles. She noticed what she first thought was a bit of lint in her lap, “but it was a little squishy,” she recalled.

Like Harrell, Adamo didn’t want to sit in her seat while maggots wiggled out of the overhead storage bin and fell on her. But, she said, “I didn’t want to be arrested for being insubordinate on a plane.”

Harrell told flight attendants to tell the pilot there was a problem. Soon the plane was heading back to the gate.

______________________

USAirways said the problem was caused by a passenger who brought a container of spoiled meat onto the plane. Harrell has her doubts about that. She said there was no smell of rotten meat. And, she said, there were flies on the plane, meaning the maggots had been there long enough to mature into flies.

The life cycle from egg to adult can be completed in as little as one week, but typically takes three weeks. House fly adults normally live about two and a half weeks during the summer, but they can survive up to three months at lower temperatures. Some overwinter outdoors in protected locations, or in crevices in buildings. Flies normally stay within one or two miles of their point of origin, but some have been known to travel as far as twenty miles.

Maggots in the trunk of a Pontiac Sunfire!!

Oh no way.... I don't do maggots. Even the word maggots looks and feels nasty as I spell it, much less will I even say it.

I was taking out the trash the other day to the dumpster and at the bottom I noticed a rather large amount of maggots. I ran into my house like there was a rabid dog on my a$$.

I would have been flipping, I would have been saying rather nasty things. And I probably would have punched a flight attendant if they were to tell me to return to my seat, that seat!

Where was this plane 2 weeks ago? ICA was flown some where maybe, hahaha. Anyone who can ride in a car filled w ,,,, ew ew ew surely wouldn't have minded a few maggots falling in her hair, on her neck, inside her unbuttoned to the belly button shirt. Sorry, I digress. One thing I did learn during that saga, was flies care more for their off spring than her. (Too soon?)

Needles found in sandwiches, Delta says; FBI to investigate
By Aaron Cooper and Mike M. Ahlers, CNN

Washington (CNN) -- The FBI says it has launched an investigation into the discovery of sewing needles in four turkey sandwiches on separate Delta Air Lines flights from Amsterdam to the United States.

The objects were discovered in food on planes as they were en route Sunday from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands to Minneapolis, Seattle and two flights to Atlanta, according to Delta spokeswoman Kristin Baur. Two of the needles were found by passengers, she said, at which point Delta told all 18 flights from Amsterdam to stop serving the sandwiches....


I hope they can sew this case up quickly.

Skip the pasta! And other unsavory truths about airplane food

(CNN) -- If you need one golden strategy for ordering your in-flight meal, it's this: always order the stew.

If the stew's not available, go for fried rice and fatty fish. Pasta, noodles, chicken breast or anything deep-fried does not fare so well in the harsh conditions of the aircraft galley.

These recommendations come straight from the people tasked with making the millions of meals served in-flight every day, such as Fritz Gross, director of culinary excellence at LSG Sky Chefs Asia Pacific....
