Air Traffic control, we request permission to land, we've hit some heavy flatulence

It could be the first flight in history that had to land because there was too much gas onboard.

A Dallas bound American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning in Nashville, Tennessee, that after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence.

The plane was forced to land when passengers reported smelling burning sulfur, apparently as the woman passenger began to light matches to disguise the smell of her odour.

The plane landed all passengers were ordered off with their baggage and all were screened again, they then were allowed to return to their flight, except for one, who was asked to find alternate travel arrangements.
