United Airlines passengers become sick after dog poops during flight

United Airlines passengers became ill after the stench of a dog’s feces spread throughout the plane.

On a flight gone wrong, United Airlines passengers were left sick after a dog pooped mid-air.

As flight attendants scattered to clean what they could, the smell was too much to come back from.

Though the plane didn’t make an emergency landing, the situation was enough for the airline to give passengers vouchers for their next flight.

Flight attendants took at least 10 minutes to address the situation

On a Monday night flight from Denver to Portland, passengers were left sick from the vial smell of dog poop.

Allegedly, the female chihuahua was in a crate for the majority of the flight but was let out mid-air after becoming noticeably irritated. Little did the dog’s owner know the pup had to use the bathroom and did so as they pleased.

After the incident, TMZ talked with a United Airlines spokesperson who said, “Our inflight crew thoroughly cleaned the area shortly after customers brought this to our attention.”

They continued, “We provided sanitizing wipes and offered travel vouchers to those in the surrounding area.”

However, eyewitnesses also told TMZ that attendants took at least 10 minutes to walk over and address the situation.

Though dog feces was all over the seats and was eventually cleaned up, the passengers’ unhappiness ultimately led to United Airlines giving those affected at least $50 towards their next flight.
