NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- It is considered polite to light a
match after passing gas. Not while on a plane.
An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing
Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the
scent of flatulence, authorities said.
The Dallas-bound flight was diverted to Nashville after several
passengers reported smelling burning sulfur from the matches,
said Lynne Lowrance, spokeswoman for the Nashville International
Airport Authority. All 99 passengers and five crew members were
taken off and screened while the plane was searched and
luggage was screened.
The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches
in an attempt to conceal a "body odor," Lowrance said. She had an
unspecified medical condition, authorities said.
"It's humorous in a way but you feel sorry for the individual, as well,"
she said. "It's unusual that someone would go to those measures
to cover it up."
The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the
plane. The woman, who was not identified, was not charged
in the incident.
