WBIR:

Flatulence brought 99 passengers on an American Airlines flight to an unscheduled visit to Nashville early Monday morning.

American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority.

The plane landed safely. The FBI, Transportation Safety Administration and airport authority responded to the emergency, Lowrance said.

The passengers and five crew members were brought off the plane, together with all the luggage, to go through security checks again. Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches.

An airliner was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday after a passenger struck matches in attempting to cover the odor of her gas. After bomb-sniffing dogs searched the plane, the woman admitted to lighting the matches and said she had a medical condition. She was not allowed to reboard.

You're an idiot. Assgas did not ground that plane. Burned matches grounded the plane. Thanks for wasting another thread. Please proceed to the Carousel for processing.

Dear "Big Guy",
It's me, your humble servant Plato. I know we've had these discussions before and we don't always agree, but I'm confidentg that we'll see eye to diety on this one. This little "experiment" you started called jtr has failed. In your infinite wisdom and capacity for cruelty when required, please retroactively abort this tard for the greater good.

TIA,
Plato

P.S. thanks for the imported berries and twigs from Norway, they really hit the spot.
