Flying with meat


FOX 2 (WJBK) - A passenger on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit said maggots fell on a woman next to him from an overhead bin, causing the plane to turn around an hour after departing.

"She was freaking out," said Philip Schotte, a Netherlands native who lives in Iowa. "She was just trying to kind of fight off these maggots."

...

"They found out that there was a rotten fish in there," Schotte said. "I did see everyone’s reaction to the bag being opened, which was just an immediate pinching of the nose."

The fish was wrapped in a newspaper and the man who placed it there stood up and claimed it.

Flight attendants took the not-so-precious-cargo to the back of the plane, Schotte said. The pilot then notified passengers that they are returning to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

Schotte said he did not see if the man responsible for the fish and maggots was detained or fined. He got on another flight back to the U.S. a few hours later, more than happy to get off.
