An abusive passenger has detailed the ordeal of being stuck on a Delta flight that was forced to turn back after someone couldn’t contain the explosive diarrhea – which led to the crew ripping up the carpet to contain the “danger.”
“It’s an experience I hope no one has to go through,” Marie Beals-Basinger told the Daily Mail of the flight that was diverted back to Atlanta on Friday, just two hours into the eight-hour journey to Barcelona, Spain.
“I hope the poor woman who had this experience recovers,” he said of the sick passenger.
The pilot of Flight DL194 had alerted air traffic control there was a “biohazard issue” with “a passenger who had diarrhea the entire way through the plane.”
“It was crushed in the hallway, it smelled horrible,” one person tweeted their partner’s disgusting experience in flight.
“It’s pretty bad … The vanilla scented sanitizer they use on it just makes it smell like vanilla s–t,” wrote Dee W. on X, the new name for Twitter.

“The flight was filled with emergency vehicles and EMTs carrying sick passengers off the plane,” added Dee W. “After the plane landed, it was cleaned up perfectly. They didn’t leave until around 2:30 in the morning”
John Hudt, who said he was also on the flight, described it as “chaos.”
“The pilot made the right decision to turn back,” he tweeted.
He said that when the plane landed, the crew “took out the carpet” and replaced it.
The FAA flight line, posted online, said it had to be diverted back to Atlanta after a passenger developed diarrhea.Twitter
“Given the circumstances, the ground crew did a great job, together [with] attendant and pilot,” Hudt tweeted on Monday.
The contaminated cabin was scrubbed by staff, while passengers on Flight DL194 were evacuated and made it to Barcelona at 5:10pm the next day.
Meanwhile, Beals-Basinger said, she was in first class and therefore away from the chaos.
“We saw Delta crew members running back and forth in protective coverings or with gloves,” Beals-Basinger told the Mail.
“They told us we had to get off the flight because they needed to do a thorough cleaning and replace the carpet.”
She said she and her husband flew to Barcelona to board the Celebrity Reflection cruise ship.
“We were worried that we would miss the cruise,” he said. “We sat at the airport for hours, we were all very tired. Finally, we were allowed back on the plane.”
“Delta is very accommodating, they provide constant updates,” he said.
Fortunately, Beals-Basinger said, the cruise ship was still waiting for them at the dock “even though we were about three hours late.”

Xansby Swanson, who originally posted footage from the flightsaid his younger brother who was on board finding the situation funny.
He said he never “laughed harder than his phone call to me explaining why he was still in America. He said it was the funniest thing he had ever experienced.”
In a statement, a spokesperson for the airline said: “Our teams are working as quickly and as quickly as possible to thoroughly clean the aircraft and get our customers to their final destination.
“We apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans.”
