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.

Most of it will be CO2 and methane - resulted from anaerobic fermentation of incomplete absorption of the carbohydrates in the small intestine.
Excess CO2 - the one of the two that dissolves significantly in water (blood) - in the body causes acidosis [wikipedia.org] - prolonged periods in such a state may lead to lung failure by exhaustion [wikipedia.org]
At 37C, methane has a solubility in water of 0.017g/litre, which means about 0.001mole/litre. So, 5 litres of blood could dissolve 0.005 mole of CH4, which means about 0.1 litres of methane.
