I have had it with these ************* maggots on this ************* plane!

I know airplane food is bad, but who the hell brings rancid meat on board?

Maggots falling from an overhead luggage locker have forced a US Airways flight to return to the gate at Atlanta airport.

"Bugs just began to fall out of the overhead compartment" causing panic on board, passenger Desiree Harrell was quoted as saying by Associated Press.

All the passengers were then asked to get off so crews could clean the plane.

The airline said a container of spoiled meat brought on by a passenger caused the delay of the flight to Charlotte.

It said that after landing in North Carolina, the plane was taken out of service and fumigated.

'Creeped out'

Donna Adamo, a passenger on board flight 1537, said she first noticed a couple of flies when she got to her seat on Monday but did not pay much attention to that.

As the plane was taxiing, she said she heard a passenger behind her causing a commotion and refusing to take her seat.

"Then I heard the word 'maggot' and that kind of got everybody creeped out," Ms Adamo told AP.

"All of a sudden, I felt somebody flick the back of my hair and on the front of me came a maggot, which I flicked off me.

But she said she "felt like they were crawling all over me because it only takes one maggot to upset your world".

"And as they're telling us to stay calm and seated, I see a maggot looking back at me and I'm thinking, 'These are anaerobic, flesh-eating larvae that the flight attendants don't have to sit with.'"

Ms Adamo said the pilot then announced that he had to return to the gate because of a "minor emergency on board".

The plane was cleaned and then continued on to Charlotte.

However, the unnamed passenger who brought the spoiled meat in a carry-on bag was put on another flight, US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher said.

It was not immediately clear how the passenger managed to take the meat on board.

Oh, I thought this was going to be a thread about the TV version of Snakes on a Plane.

“I’ve had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane.”

That's what she said.

How can someone be smart enough to afford plane fare but?..

How the hell did they get that past security?

I thought this was about someone's bratty kids. My favorite line was the ana-aerobic flesh eating maggots.

Can't tell y'all how many times I've said just this today.

lol! I want to adopt this line, too! I had a lovely maggot experience while preparing to put out the garbage last week. Our compost bin is right over our recyling bin in our kitchen. Some nasty fly or other had laid eggs in the compost, which hatched and worked their way down to the reycling, I'm guessing. So as I'm gathering up the paper, plastic bottles, etc., all of a sudden I realize that what's left in the recycling bin is... moving! I'm not particularly squeamish, but you should have heard the sound that came out of me! Then, of course, I had to suck it up and deal with dozens of the little buggers. Eeeeeeeeeewwwwww! Can't imagine what I'd do if one of them fell on me while I was sitting on a plane! <involuntary shudder>

maggots in compost is very common. and really not a problem, unless you don't want them there. one great solution is to isolate the compost in an area and let chickens go thru it. they will pick out the maggots, leave you very rich manure, and their eggs will have deep orange yolks (lots of protein in those maggots!).

Easy. There are no rules against bringing food through the security checkpoint. Quite often I will bring some food with me when I fly home. As an example, I brought home some pizza once from Chicago....BBQ from Detroit.....tamales from Odessa......Lebanon bologna and bread from Altoona...on and on.

For anyone thinking of bringing food on a plane, the absolute best is to bring fried chicken. Pretty much everyone loves the smell of fried chicken and the yummy scent will quickly fill the entire plane making everyone hungry and wondering if they will be serving it during the flight. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow when I fly home from Detroit.

Have you flown recently? They hardly checked my bags when I went to Florida in April. As long as the meat didn't have an overwhelming smell, I doubt they paid much attention.
