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.

Holding it in can really do a number on your insides. Especially on a plane. Trust me on this one -- I owned an airline. And I fly a lot, I have my own plane. The air pressure on the plane isn't regular air pressure, it's much less. So it makes your insides swell up tremendously.

Could explain why you gained 100lb this year, eh Donny?

Probably just the weight of command.
