How incredibly awesome or terrifying must your number 2 be that it ends up forcing a plane to land? Clogging toilets never really happen these days, unless it's some major next-level kind of poo. Apparently, someone on a flight from London to Dubai took a shit so big the plane was forced to land earlier.

Now this has got our attention. The passenger is unnamed of course.

Hertsmere councillor Abhishek Sachdev, who represents Potters Bar Parkfield, said the seven-hour flight was aborted ‘because of a smelly poo in the toilet’…

Mr Sachdev, a Tory councillor, said the flight departed on time Thursday night and everything seemed fine until the captain made an announcement about 30 minutes after take-off.

He told MailOnline Travel: ‘The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd.

‘About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets.

‘He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used. He said it’s not a technical fault with the plane, and he was very adamant about that.’

For health and safety reasons.

Once again, how bad must it have been?
