Footage from Barcelona-bound Delta flight that was forced to return to Atlanta shows aftermath of passenger’s horrific bout of diarrhea that caused ‘biohazard issue’
Disgusting footage is said to reveal the aftermath of a Delta flight forced to flip in mid-air after a passenger suffered explosive diarrhea all over the plane.
The video, shared on social media Tuesday, shows a stream of liquid stool trickling down the aisle of the plane, believed to have been filmed after the mid-flight disaster on Friday.
The flight took off from Atlanta and was scheduled for Barcelona, but didn’t even reach the Atlantic Ocean before the ailing aviator let go.
It remains unclear how the case could have covered such a large area of the plane, as the footage was taken by someone who was walking almost the entire length of the plane when they revealed the mess.

The person who shared the footage, named Xansby Swanson on X, formerly Twitter, said their little brother was on the now infamous flight.
Thinking back to when he learned about his sibling’s predicament, which also saw hundreds of other fliers stranded for hours because of the issue, Swanson said, “I couldn’t have laughed harder than his midnight call to explain why he was still was in America. .’
After the turbulence, it reportedly took crews more than five hours to clean up the plane, which involved tearing out and replacing the entire carpet.
Other passengers shared horrific details from inside the plane, including one who said staff used a vanilla-scented sanitizer that they said made the plane “smell like vanillas***.”
After a flight of 8 hours and 13 minutes, the plane finally landed in Barcelona at 5.10 pm – eight hours later than planned.
The plane was diverted to Atlanta at 10:40 p.m. Friday and eventually resumed its journey to Spain just over five hours later at 3:00 a.m. Shown here is a standard Delta plane
While many have joined online to parody or make fun of the incident after it happened last week, the flight’s pilot was terse in explaining the problem to air traffic control when he decided to turn the flight around.
“Go to ATL – passenger diarrhea all over airplanes – biological hazard,” he said.
Air traffic control audio recordings also show one of the pilots confirming the situation over the radio, saying, “It’s just a biological hazard, we had a passenger who had diarrhea all through the flight, so they want us to come back to Atlanta. ‘
The aircraft was met on the ground by emergency vehicles who removed the passenger from the aircraft before it was cleaned. Delta is silent on the details, but acknowledges that the flight was turned around due to an unexpected medical event.
While Delta remained tight-lipped about how the matter unfolded during the flight, some fellow fliers have taken to social media to provide details
The plane had only been underway for an hour when it was forced to turn around due to the incident, which the pilot described as a “biological hazard.”
While the airline has been silent on how the incident unfolded, some fellow fliers have taken to social media to offer a peek inside the stench-filled plane.
“Both my wife and I were on the run. It was a mess,” said one.
“The pilots made the right decision to turn around. The ground crew ripped out the carpet and put in new ones. The ground staff, given the circumstances, have done an excellent job, together with the escorts and the pilots.’
A woman, whose partner was on board the flight, echoed the disgusting video shared Tuesday, saying: “It was pretty bad. It seeped down the aisle and smelled awful.
“The vanilla-scented sanitizer used on it only made it smell like vanilla***. After the plane landed, it was thoroughly cleaned. They didn’t leave until about 2:30 AM.
The flight was met by emergency vehicles and EMTs carried the sick passenger off the plane.
“My partner said the plane was cleaner when they got back on at 2am than the first time they got on. No smell either.’
