Most disgusting reason for plane to return to gate: Maggots found on US Airways flight

We are used to overstuffed luggage falling from overhead compartments, but maggots? They fell from the overhead bin due to a spoiled container of meat (left behind by a passenger on the previous flight, according to US Airways). As the plane was taxiing, passenger Donna Adamo told AP, “I heard the word ‘maggot’ and that kind of got everybody creeped out. All of a sudden, I felt somebody flick the back of my hair and on the front of me came a maggot, which I flicked off me.”




At the gate, the plane was cleaned and fumigated before the passengers were brought back on board.
