Sewage flows down aisles of trans-Atlantic flight

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash.– Passengers on a Continental Airlines flight had to hold their noses for hours as sewage overflowed from toilets while they were high over the Atlantic.
"To be blatantly honest, I was more nervous than I had ever been on a flight," said Collin Brock.
The University Place man was on board Continental Airlines flight 1970 from Amsterdam to Newark, New Jersey last week when things went bad.
"I've never felt so offended in all my life. I felt like i had been physically abused and neglected. I was forced to sit next to human excrement for seven hours," said Brock. (Oh, suck it up, pussy! You coulda been beside me, then I would have abused and neglected your body for sure!! It would've been Dookey Love for you.)
That's after lavatories - in the middle of a flight filled with passengers - started spewing sewage.
"Sickening. It's a nauseating smell. It's very uncomfortable," said Brock.
It was last Wednesday afternoon when his flight left Amsterdam, but roughly two hours into it, the passengers were told the lavatories were out of commission. An unplanned landing in Shannon, Ireland was made to fix the problem.
A pit stop became an overnight stay. The next day, the same plane headed for its original destination of Newark, New Jersey, but just after takeoff, the sewage overflow began. This time, there was no turning around.
"I don't know how you can say a plane needs to be grounded one day for a problem that's not as major as a problem the next day, and it doesn't qualify for being grounded," said Brock.
He says was there was one half-working restroom on the plane for the more than 200 people onboard.
He also says the flight attendants - who were serving meal service in a stinky, unappetizing cabin - told everyone to not eat or drink too much. (I could've whipped up some of my cream based specialties.)
"To be told that we were supposed to monitor what comes out the other end of us was insulting," (Why?!?!?!?) said Brock. "Shame on Continental. It was the worst flight experience I have ever had."
Continental gave Collin a $500 voucher for a future flight for the inconvenience. He says he's not sure he'll ever use it- (He needs The Plop!)

Raw sewage sex
Some people have all the luck. I wish the recent spate of sewage spills would happen here in Braddock.
Family Splattered With Sewage
Indianapolis -- A dump truck hauling sewage sludge stopped quickly to avoid an accident in Indianapolis Thursday morning and, when its load shifted, a large amount of the sewage rushed over the back of the truck and onto a family's minivan.
A family of four from Michigan said some of the sludge made it inside their vehicle and onto their bodies.
"I'm worried," passenger Kimberly Shanklin said. "That's human feces and it got on myself and my children. So, yeah, I'm concerned. That could be a lifetime threat to us." (These fucking people are unreal in their fake concern- it's just a bit of shit juice, bitch!! Always trying to get something for nothing).
The truck did not have anything covering its load since it is not a requirement in Indiana. Officials said the sludge is 20-25 years old and contains some human waste but shouldn't be harmful to the van's occupants. Yummie. Turds age like fine wine.

When I die, I hope I go like this. Just breathing it all in and fall into a seeping sleep.
5 on Va. Farm Killed by Methane Gas

BRIDGEWATER, Va. (AP) - Deadly methane gas emanating from a dairy farm's manure pit (oh, that would be a nice home for me) killed five people, including four members of a Mennonite family (I will pray for my Mennonite friends Samuel Yoder and the Schmucker's), authorities said.
Emergency workers speculate that after the first victim was overcome Monday, the others climbed into the pit (excellent- just what I would do) in a frantic rescue attempt. ``It was a domino effect with one person going in, the second person going after them,'' Rockingham County Sheriff Don Farley said.
Farley identified the victims as Scott Showalter, 34; his wife, Phyillis, 33; their daughters Shayla, 11, and Christina, 9; and Amous Stoltzfus, 24, who worked at the Showalters' dairy farm in the Briery Branch community. The couple also had two younger daughters.
Sonny Layman, another farmhand, said Tuesday he tried to save Phyillis Showalter by hooking her onto a grate and pulling her up.
``I tried to hook her but I couldn't,'' a visibly shaken Layman said. ``It's in the lord's hands.''
The accident began when Scott Showalter tried to transfer manure from one small pit to a larger one, measuring 20 feet by 20 feet and 8 feet deep.
The pipe that was transferring the manure became clogged, and Showalter climbed in the pit to fix the blockage, Farley said.
``It was probably something he had done a hundred times,'' Farley said. ``There was gas in there and he immediately succumbed.''
Emergency workers believe Stoltzfus climbed into the pit in an attempt to rescue Showalter. Phyillis Showalter and the two girls were outside the milking barn, heard the commotion, then all went into the pit and succumbed to the deadly gas.
Methane gas is an odorless and colorless byproduct of liquefied manure (oh the joy!). The pit was nearly enclosed and poorly vented, Farley said.
The Showalters milked 103 cows on their farm west of Harrisonburg in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, an area dotted with church steeples and old-fashioned red barns.
Family and friends came to the farm Tuesday to milk the cows and finish clearing the drain (I should've been called to help). In the distance stood an off-white, two-story house with black shutters, a small garden and a clothesline with laundry blowing in the wind.
``He got in and the gas got him,'' said Scott Showalter's cousin Bruce Good (that's what they say about my opponents).
There are more than 6,000 Mennonites in 40 churches in Rockingham County, according to Jim Lehman, archivist for the Virginia Mennonite Conference.
The Showalters belonged to a church in a branch whose members shun many of the trappings of modern society but drive cars and have telephones, said Bonnie Lofton, spokeswoman at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, who spoke with a family member.
``It's a very tight community,'' Farley told The Associated Press. ``They will be ministering to each other and counseling each other. It's very fortunate that they have a very strong faith to help them through this.''
Farley said the Showalter farm was a modern dairy operation. ``Their faith did not deter any safety precautions,'' he said.

Doo Doo in Naples
Perhaps with T. Diana Belle-Little as a county commissioner, this can happen here in Braddock. One can only dream.
U.S. warns citizens over Naples garbage crisisMon Jul 9, 2007 2:28PM EDT
Power. Price. Service. No Compromises.ROME (Reuters) - The United States embassy in Rome has warned U.S citizens they may face a health risk in Italy's southern Campania region due to a garbage crisis that has filled streets with piles of rubbish.
"U.S. citizens traveling to or through the area may encounter mounds of garbage, open fires with potentially toxic fumes, and/or sporadic public demonstrations by local residents attempting to block access to dumps," the embassy said in an advisory note.
Since May, streets in Naples and nearby towns have been piled with household waste that has nowhere else to go -- the fault of political mismanagement, conflicting interests and organized crime.
The embassy warned that airborne particles and fumes from these fires could aggravate respiratory problems and the fires could release toxic substances into the air.
Last month the European Commission took legal action against Italy over the thousands of tonnes of uncollected waste, saying it posed serious health and environmental risks through the spread of disease and through pollution of air, water and land.
