Although traveling has its ups and downs, one woman experienced more than she bargained for when she got worms while on board a Delta flight.
According to CBS News, the embarrassing incident occurred on a Delta flight that was scheduled to fly from Amsterdam to Detroit. The flight was forced to turn around when the creepy reptiles were discovered.
An airline spokesperson confirmed that the plane had to turn around and stated that flight 133 AMS-DTW was “disrupted due to a poorly packed carry-on bag.” The spokesperson did not confirm exactly what happened.
Delta provided a statement about the change in flight plans. “The plane returned to the gate and passengers were placed on the next available flight,” the statement read. The airline then said the plane was removed from service for cleaning.
Meanwhile, a passenger on the flight revealed to Fox2Detroit what exactly happened on board the flight. He said he saw a dozen worms fall from an overhead bin and land on the female passenger sitting next to him.
“I was scared,” said Philip Schottes, sitting next to the passenger. “She was just trying to fight off these worms.”
Schottes then said he looked across the hallway and found maggots falling on the woman. He initially thought it was a joke. “I really don’t know what was going through my mind,” she continued. “I was trying to process it; Disgust is one thing, of course. “We had to wait there until help arrived.”
Delta flight attendants discover where the worms came from
Finally, Delta flight attendants discovered the cause of the worms in the overhead bins.
“They discovered there was a rotten fish in there,” Schotte said. “I saw everyone’s reaction when the bag was opened, which was just an immediate pinch in the nose.”
Schotte claimed that the rotten fish was found wrapped in newspaper. A fellow Delta passenger claimed the package. Shortly after the fish was discovered, the flight’s pilot announced that they would turn around and return to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
Schotte stated that the passenger responsible for the unfortunate shipment was not arrested or fined. He also said he was surprised security didn’t detect the rotten fish and live worms.
Immediately after the news broke, X users shared their thoughts on the scary incident. “If this had been Spirit, they probably would have charged you for the ‘snacks,'” one X user wrote.
Another user X cited Snakes on a plane. I’m sick of these worms on this plane!
