Airline Passanger’s B.O. Is So Bad, They Have To Turn Around

I have an unfortunately sharp sense of smell.

I can tell you what spices are in a sauce by smelling it, or what makes up a perfume…so that’s kinda cool?

The downside… I know if the guy sitting next to me on public transportation hasn’t showered. More often than not, he hasn’t.

This story is legitimately my idea of hell.

According to Fox News:

A Transavia flight to the Spanish island of Gran Canaria was forced to make an emergency landing in Portugal when several passengers reportedly became ill by the “unbearable” smell of an “unwashed” man onboard.

The male passenger allegedly smelled so bad that others on the flight began fainting and vomiting once the plane took off from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.

FAINTING AND VOMITING, folks.

That was one smelly dude.

One Belgian passenger, Piet van Haut, told Express the man smelled like he had not bathed in “several weeks.”

“It was like he hadn’t washed himself for several weeks. Several passengers got sick and had to puke,” van Haut said.

According to the publication, airline crew members tried to keep the man contained in the airplane bathroom while the pilot diverted the flight.

The LOCKED HIM IN THE BATHROOM, Y’ALL!

I mean… WTF?

Didn’t anyone notice this guy was LITERALLY vomit-inducing in say… the security line? What about the boarding line? Did no one realize the potent pungency of this man until it was TOO LATE?! Until he was flying through the sky in an aluminum can with a captive olfactory audience?

Apparently not.

The plane landed in Faro in Portugal where the man was removed from the Boeing 737 and placed on a bus by medical personnel.

In a statement to Express from Transavia, the airliner confirmed the emergency landing was due to “medical reasons.”

“The aeroplane diverted because of medical reasons, but it is indeed right that he smelled quite a bit,” a Transavia spokesperson told the news site.

I have few words for this.

It is unknown what medical condition – if any – the man suffered from.

Transavia did not immediately return a request for comment.

Part of me feels really bad. I mean… who knows what that guy is going through? And he got locked in the bathroom which I’m sure was humiliating. I really actually feel terrible. I have a tender heart for people, ok?

But also wth, dude? Please think of the rest of us.
