What a week.  First we had mummified monkeys (‘bushmeat’ as it was so appetizingly termed) now we have a  Delta Air Lines flight forced to turn around back to Amsterdam due to a “bug” infested carry on bag. Well, though the airline diplomatically described an “improperly packed carry-on bag,” social media posts (you can always count on them for the nitty gritty) noted the ‘bugs’ falling from an overhead bin, were in fact …ewww

– maggots who were feasting on rotting fish in the ‘improperly packed bag”.

The flight had only got as far as UK airspace when it returned back to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

Passengers were given air miles, hotel accommodation and a meal voucher for the inconvenience.

“The aircraft returned to the gate and customers were placed on the next available flight. The aircraft was removed from service for cleaning,” the airline said in a statement.

What’s next? What could be worse?
