Passengers on an Air India flight from Chicago to Delhi got an unexpected detour after a full-blown plumbing disaster mid-air! Five hours into the 14.5-hour journey, the plane had to turn back because—get this—11 out of 12 toilets were clogged. Yep, a whole aircraft at max capacity with just ONE functioning loo. Chaos? You bet. We break down the nightmare scenario and what happens when your in-flight "technical issue" is actually a bathroom catastrophe.

Ricky Leeching, I've been flight hell coming.

Up in a sec.

Oh, I just flew back from Perth, so.

UNI, Perth to Sydney. Ever done Chicago to Delhi?

I have not.

I wouldn't have thought anyone would want to do that.

No, with Chicago to Deli? How long is that flight? Eleven hours long?

Thirty?

I think on the top of my head, off the top you had on your sheet.

Yep.

Anyway, it was forced to turn around after experiencing technical issues. Yeah, that's not the story that I want to tell here, Okay, but I will, now that I've half started telling it, tell it because the cats thing is about a high fiving cat. Oh.

This was a five hour, five hours into the fourteen hour flight when it was a water due to the fact that there was a plumbing disaster on the plane.

Oh my god. Eleven out of the.

Twelve toilets were clogged and there were three hundred passengers and one working toilet. Business if you'd paid for.

Business, that's a real life show.

Oh my god, Oh my god, Chicago to Delhi. That's a lot a butter chicken.

Oh my gosh.

Someone dropped their guts on the plane today and I wanted to die from.

The Windy City as well.
