Detroit-Bound Delta Air Lines Flight Returns to Amsterdam After Maggots Fall on Passengers From Overhead Bin

Reminds me of a flight I was on leaving New Orleans for Newark, NJ back in the mid-1990's. We were getting ready to close up and taxi when some nasty smelling water started dripping out of the overhead compartment onto a guy's head on the other side of the aisle. It was summer and very humid, most of us thought it was AC condensation. The guy understandably starts raising a ruckus and a flight attendant begins to go through the overhead area looking for the leak. A few cases away is a Styrofoam box turned on its side with water oozing out through the lid as it wouldn't fit right side up. The FA pulls it down and lifts the lid off, its packed pretty full of live crayfish. A near altercation in the aisle then took place between the guy who got dripped on with the smelly water and the crawdad box owner. I was sitting next to a huge guy from an eastern European country who looked like he could have been part of the mafia, he couldn't speak English but he was laughing incredibly hard repeating several times "Americans!, Americans!"

The guy who got dripped on was reseated up front and we took off a few minutes late. The crawdads stayed in New Orleans.

The real story, the one we really want to read about, is an interview with the idiot who owns the suitcase.

You people and your AeroXplorer links. Fail.

I don't see the ads on aero explorer. My firewall must already have an exclusion for them. If you right click on the ad and see what site they are coming from, then you just deny traffic to or from that site in the firewall. No adblock needed the request in the page for the ad site simply never reaches the ad site and nothing is loaded. Because this is done at the firewall level, it works for all applications immediately. This isn't a vpn. Its all directly on the device.

Destination Detroit? Well, well, well.

That would almost ruin my appetite. I'd skip the in-flight meal.
