A pilot from Dubai to Amsterdam flight was forced to make an emergency landing as a fight broke-out mid-air and the reason was that a passenger couldn’t stop farting. It began when an altercation broke out between three passengers. One passenger was farting loudly, and could not, or would not restrain himself. Reportedly, it is not clear if he had a medical condition, or was just being unpleasant.


Despite other passengers’ pleas and complaints to the plane's crew, the man reportedly continued to fart. It's unclear whether the passenger had a medical condition that caused the flatulence. When he allegedly refused to stop, a fight broke out. Only when the pilot decided to make an emergency landing in Vienna.


A police spokesperson confirmed that "A passenger suffering from wind who was not attempting to restrain himself was at the center of the matter. The spokesperson also said that two women sitting in the same row as the two angry Dutchmen were escorted off the plane. It's unclear what happened to the passenger who was farting.”
