from the bottom-burps dept.

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

An elderly man's flatulence forced his flight to make an emergency stop after a fight broke out over his barrage of bottom burps.

Passengers flying with budget Dutch airline Transavia from Dubai to Amsterdam were reportedly put out by the man's continued farting, and asked him to stop.

But the man failed to hold it in, and when even a direct order from the pilot didn't take the wind out of his sails, two particularly incensed passengers took matters into their own hands.

Local media reported that two Dutchmen sat next to the trumper started a fight with the man, which escalated to the point where the pilot was forced to make an unscheduled stop.

On landing in Vienna, armed police boarded the plane to remove the men who caused the ruckus, along with two sisters who were seated next to them.

    Farts can be held in, and the gasses will dissolve and be absorbed by the body to no ill effects.

    No ill effects, ey? You are delusional, mate. You try to held in the gasses yourself after a heavy meal of beans and we'll speak afterwards.

    Ruminants, particularly cows, are prone to bloating on certain feeding conditions - serious cases can kill them in 15 minutes if not resolved - the emergency treatment is puncturing skin, muscle and the rumen wall with a trocar (which is a huge needle) to get the gases out. Here's how the procedure and the trocar looks like [youtu.be]
    Now, chemically, the human flesh and beef aren't that different - they should be able to dissolve the same amount of gasses. If what you said would be true, cows would have no problems with bloating.
