Just when you thought air travel couldn't get any worse, maggots falling from an overhead bin on a US Airways flight out of Atlanta forced the plane to return to the gate. A passenger had brought a container of spoiled meat aboard the flight and apparently some maggots along with it, creating a brief panic among passengers before the pilot turned the plane around.
Passenger Donna Adamo said she noticed some flies when she boarded the plane on Monday. When the plane was taxiing, the woman seated behind her began to shout and refused to sit back down, screaming: "There's one over here."
Shortly after, Adamo noticed something on her clothes.
"I thought it was a piece of lint but when I went to flick it off, it was squishy," Adamo said.
