There Was a Poop Plane in Australia
http://www.theatlanticwire.com/globa...stralia/67948/It turns out a recent flight took a turn for the toilet after a group of passengers were infected with a virus that caused them to spend more than 12 hours in the air while barely being to contain the their stomachs' contents. The flight was so awful it sounded like the "poop cruise"'s second cousin.
You may remember the "poop cruise" that was stranded in the Gulf of Mexico last February because CNN made into this huge thing. The passengers were running out of food and supplies and things got messy. CNN's coverage became the punchline to a million bad jokes, even some from The Atlantic Wire, and became synonymous with the Jeff Zucker era at the 24 hour news network.
But this sounds so, so much worse. Jalopnik called it "the poop plane from hell," and, well, they're right. Sixteen passengers on a 13-hour Qantas flight from Chile to Australia were taken to the hospital after they, along with a few others, contracted symptoms consistent with norovirus while in the air, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Norovirus causes the stomach and intestine to inflame, and leads to stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Holy shit... that must have been pure hell. And I thought normal 4-hour flights were bad! Imagine 13 hours with everyone shitting their pants in such a congested space?
