So are we talking about a small commuter plane of a 747? Volume matters! Ultimately the solution to pollution is dilution!

I've been on flights that should have been evacuated because of someone's ass-turbulence. My worst was on a MD88 from ATL-PHL. Had the misfortune of sitting near the rear lavs when some guy laid an egg back there - and we hadn't even left the gate yet!

This thread is cracking me up.
I will also add - it may be medical related. Ie is it possible a colostomy bag was opened?
I work in hospitals and I have smelled some 'medical-grade' odors that could peel paint.

I've crop dusted many an airplane, but sadly I can't say I've ever triggered an evacuation. I suppose now I have a goal to aim for.

For the record, I fly Delta. I was at home at the time of the incident.
With that said, when I was on the department our Central station was four bays wide and two deep with doors on both ends so that you could drive through. We had a guy that could clear the entire apparatus bay with one little "beeerp". Some of the even swore a dripping green could would form at times behind him.

Had a big redheaded guy that worked out on the floor. He was famous for his handi work. He was an artist, or a magician. He could telegraph them a hundred feet, I swear. I don't know if he could read the air currents or what but you could see his victims succumb and look around and he's at his workstation 50 - 100 feet away just laughing his ass off. He cleared a meeting room more than once and was quite proud of it. If he ever asked you if you smelled something burning... he like you and was doing you a favor... RUN!!!

In a mech infantry company we used to close the hatches and fart brawl. It was like survivor, only without the dignity and decorum.

I once worked with a woman like Sig2340's fellow traveler. She smelled so bad one day my eyes teared and my throat closed up. I had to leave the room. Rankest thing I ever smelled.

Once my company of combat engineers deployed to Panama. The whole unit went on a single civilian chartered L1011. I still feel a little sorry for that civilian air crew, with a whole combat unit subscribing to the mantra "the best defense is a good offense." All the officers were up in 1st class, but it was mayhem back with us enlisted folks.

A few years ago I was working in Taiwan. The night before we flew back to the U.S. I mistakenly decided to try the local delicacy of "1000 year old eggs". The egg "white" was translucent and the color of iced tea. The yoke was a combination of blue, black, and green. I only ate one of the eight slices it came in. On the flight half way home I knew "exactly" when that egg fart surfaced. So did the 30 people in my immediate vicinity. LOL

I had a co-worker, Leonard, back in my retail hardware days who's farts were legendary. They inspired many tales of his prowess. They would linger, and spread, and were incredibly potent.
A fella who had to often work side by side with him actually complained to management about his gas. It was rumored his farts were the reason his wife left him. I recall hearing the child of a customer cry to her mother "MOMMY, WHAT'S THAT SMELL?!?!?" as one of Leonard's air biscuits wafted over the counter and out onto the sales floor.
One time I was downwind of him and one traveled about 40 feet to assault my nostrils. I was cutting some sections of hardware cloth for a customer and couldn't leave the area; it was brutal. Another time he had been on the nut, bolt & screw aisle a couple of minutes before. I saw the manager head down that aisle and I snickered to myself, only seconds later to hear him yell "LEONARD!"
His farts were so obnoxious, he even told of a time when his dog was on the couch with him. Leonard "let one go," the dog looked up at him, leapt off the couch, and ran out of the room.
