Texas Flight Suffers Toilet Issues, Returns After 9 Hours in the Air

A flight from Texas made an announcement that their five-hour flight must turn around after issues arose with the onboard toilets.

A plane departed from Dallas on its way to a Korean airport and had to make an emergency landing after five hours in the air... back to the Dallas airport.

One passenger, Jimin, took to social media to film the experience on the plane.

Luckily for her, Flamin' Hot Cheetos were her knight in shining red dust as she, along with the rest of the passengers, played the waiting game on the flight back home.

The main issue people had with this experience was not broken toilet or even the act of being delayed. It was that the airline decided to depart and didn't address the issue until five hours into the trip.

So, not only was it late at night, but everyone had to enjoy a 100% useless 9-hour flight only to wind up at the same airport where they originally left.

My favorite part of the story is when the attendant asks if any of the passengers have a screwdriver... First off: who carries tools on to a plane, wouldn't screwdrivers be considered a weapon? Also, that's not the job of the passenger to supply necessary tools to fix plumbing on the flight!

The job of the passenger is to take whatever pills are necessary, order an overpriced adult beverage and put headphones in to avoid talking to the person next to you. That's just a rule of nature.

if it lessens any of the pain, the airline did offer a replacement plane for the passengers to board... the next day.
