New Delhi: Thousands of planes are flying around the world every day and emergency landings are also happening frequently. Of course, the reasons behind it could be engine failure, other technical defects or many others. Now a new and strange reason for the emergency landing of the plane in Austria (Osteria) has come out, which may seem like a joke.
In fact, a Boeing 777 took off from Vienna Airport in Austria carrying 300 passengers and was scheduled to reach New York eight hours later. However, within two hours, the pilot of the flight received a message from the Vienna airport and requested permission for an emergency landing.
The reason the pilot gave for the emergency landing was shocking. Because he said that he had to make an emergency landing because of the toilet. When the pilot’s message came from the area, it was learned that there were a total of 8 toilets in this flight of Boeing 777, out of which the flush of 5 toilets was broken, i.e. not working.
Notably, incidents of emergency landings of planes are frequent and sometimes frightening. Last January, a flight from England to Australia also had to make an emergency landing. In which the fact was that the engine of this flight carrying 100 passengers suddenly stopped in the sky. So, before reaching the Sydney airport in Australia, the pilot decided to make an emergency landing and passed the message.
About 100 passengers and crew members present in the flight were on the verge of death. Not only that, emergency services including ambulances were rushed to Sydney Airport. Fortunately, the flight was able to land safely. There have been several cases of such emergency landings, with perhaps the first instance of an emergency landing due to malfunctioning toilet blocks.
This complaint about the toilet by the passengers was made to the crew members and the pilot was informed about it as it seemed appropriate. With an 8-hour journey and 300 passengers, five toilets in a dilapidated condition proved difficult. So the pilot turned his flight back to Vienna and asked permission for an emergency landing. In short, the flight that reached New York in eight hours returned to Vienna in two hours.
