An American woman who suffered a brutal bought of diarrhea and vomiting on a United Airlines flight from Portugal to Indianapolis via Newark, New Jersey, has (surprisingly) made herself known and spoken out about the experience.

Meghan Reinertsen explained how her food poisoning caused diarrhea that turned the plane’s toilet into a ‘biohazard’, and resulted in the plane being grounded and a flight being cancelled.

Meghan said she was already feeling unwell at Newark airport, but decided to risk it and board the plane despite feeling ‘a disturbance, deep deep.’

Shortly after take-off, she was hit by ‘full body sweating’ and ‘cramping’, and had to leg it to the bathroom.

Understandably, her #1 priority was not sh1tting herself in front of all the other passengers, and so she ignored the seatbelt on sign and dashed to the toilet. On the idea of the worst happening in front of hundreds of other passengers, she said: ‘I couldn’t let that happen to me.’

‘For the next 20 minutes, I had more diarrhea than any human should have in their life.’

It wasn’t just the diarrhea, either. As she emptied her insides via the back passage in the plane’s toilet, she began feeling something else rise in her stomach, prompting her to scream for help from the flight attendants to bring her a bag.

Fair play to the crew – they let her stay in the bathroom for the entire flight. Well, what else are you going to do, really?

Meghan was told to ‘brace for impact’ as she was still on the toilet during landing, which must have been quite the experience.

On the ground, she was helped out of the bathroom in a wheelchair before a team in full haz-mat gear was brought in to deal with the mess.

Meghan explained: ‘A flight attendant comes over and says, “Everybody’s off the plane now, go ahead and take your time and come out when you can, the next flight has been cancelled.”‘

‘In the moment, I’m not thinking it is because of me. They had to wheel me off the plane in a wheelchair and wheel me to baggage claim.’

Staff told her that a haz-mat team rolled in later to clean the insides of the plane in case ‘I brought something back from Portugal.’

Absolute nightmare. I’m actually amazed that she’s happy to tell the story in front of the whole world, as if she wasn’t already embarrassed enough by the whole thing. Probably just feels lucky that the diarrhea didn’t explode out of her hindquarters before she made it into the toilet. Can you imagine the pandemonium that would cause 30,000 feet up in the air? They’d have to release the oxygen masks for the other passengers. Brace yourselves for extreme turdulence!

Well anyway, we shouldn’t really laugh because it can happen to anyone. Best keep some Imodium handy from now on.
