How stupid and embarassing! I think she would have been less noticed had she just sat there! NOW everybody knows who it was! :smt119

I love how the body of the article goes on to say that it was the smell of the burning matches that made them land the plane, but every headline I've seen says it was flatulence... now, if it'd be flatulence, THAT would have been FUNNY!!!

Who knew you could take 4 matchbooks on a plane? Who needs 4 matchbooks on a plane?

Who needs 4 matchbooks on a plane?
A woman that just had lunch at Taco Bell.

You didn't eat at Taco Bell, did you IGID? Sorry to see that you're feeling puny.

Thanks, but no. This weather and night shift has my sinuses wanting to explode.

Stupid is right. I can't believe she didn't jump up and point the finger at the passenger next to her. That's what we did in school.

I can't believe she didn't jump up and point the finger at the passenger next to her.But then they would have said " he who smellt it dealt it ", wouldn't they?

just imagine the ridicule and jokes she will have to face when she gets back to her home town and everyone finds out it's her!!!! (i know, she brought it on herself, but still... :smt103 )

next time she might wanna take some Gas-X with her instead of matches!!


P.S. i wonder if she is now coded into all of the airport computers as the "Flatulence Lady" so they can be ready for her the next time??? :smt102

I fly all of the time and have sat next to some really nasty people, but that has to be the dumbest thing that I have ever heard of! If I were one of the passengers on that plane, I would be so ticked at the idiot!!! She could have gone to the bathroom! She should be charged with stupidity!!! And she should have to pay for the expenses for the emergency stop and all of the people who missed other flights because of it!!!

At least the emergency landing wasn't due to the plane running out of gas.
