Professional wrestler André the Giant once did a poo on a plane which caused people to 'puke' and 'scream'.
French pro wrestler and actor André René Roussimoff - a.k.a. André the Giant - had a condition called gigantism which saw him come in standing at a whopping 7ft, four inches tall and 236 kg weight.
And you know what they say about a man with big hands and feet...
Advert
That he probably needs to eat a lot more than the rest of us and in turn, probably also does very large poos!
Unfortunately for the plane passengers onboard the 14-hour Boeing 747 flight from Tokyo to the US, this proved very true when the 7ft four inch Frenchman went to the loo for a number two midway through the flight.
The stench was even too much for fellow professional wrestler Brutus Beefcake - formally known as Edward Harrison Leslie - who reported people 'screaming' as the smell snuck through the pressurised cabin.
Beefcake said people 'couldn't breathe' the smell was so pungent.
Beefcake told Wrestling Shoot Interviews he'd 'never heard anything like it' when Roussimoff went to the loo on the flight.
He said: "The sounds that are coming out of there.
"The smell that started coming forward, the back of the plane had a lot of people. There were people falling out of their seats and into the aisles.
"Gagging, puking, crying, screaming, and we were all falling on the floor laughing ourselves sick. I couldn’t breathe. He must have half filled-up a garbage bag full of s**t."
Perhaps the person who's diarrhoea was so awful the plane had to actually divert and land early is a descendent of the former World Wide Wrestling Federation champion?
Earlier this month, a Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta to Barcelona had to turn back two hours into its eight-hour journey after a passenger didn't quite make it as far as the toilet.
S**t hit the fan so badly - well, not quite the fan, but it did a good job of travelling down the plane's aisle - the incident was classified as 'a biohazard issue' by the pilot.
A video later revealed the clean-up after the accident, one person taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - to claim staff were there until 'around 2:30am' scrubbing the plane clean of any lingering skids and smells.
