«Breaking News» American Airlines passengers had to pee in bags after toilets overflowed

A flight to Hawaii quickly took an uncomfortable turn for 187 passengers who were told they would have to pee in plastic bags and bottles. 

One passenger on the American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Kona filmed her conversation with a flight attendant who told her the toilets were overflowing.

'What do you mean I have to pee in a bag?' the woman, who would not reveal her name, can be heard asking in the video - which was filmed on Friday.

One passenger on the American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Hawaii filmed the moment a flight attendant said she had to pee in a bag because the toilets were overflowing

American Airlines said all bathrooms were working when the plane took off but problems began after someone flushed a diaper down one of the toilets

'They're overflowing,' the attendant responds. 'This one has like this much left,' she adds, gesturing with her fingers.  'I know, it's horrible. And guys are going in bottles.'

The woman can then be heard asking the attendant how such a thing could happen on the six-hour flight. 

'We overflowed,' the attendant says again. 'Whoever was on the ground, they overflowed.

'So when people started using the bathroom, it was so full anyways that it just shut up. And the water - everything goes in the same tank.' 

'That's outrageous,' the passenger replies. 'I'm in pain, I think I'm gonna have a UTI and it's not sanitary right now for me to use the bags.' 

'There's a little space,' the attendant replies. 'Why is it not sanitary to go in a bag? I know it's gross, but...'   

The attendant said that women were be giving bags and guys were 'going' in water bottles

The passenger claimed that only one restroom in the front of the plane had been open and that it began to overflow

The woman said attendants made an announcement during the flight that there was an issue with the bathrooms. 

'You could see the passengers looking at each other in disbelief,' she told KPNX. 

'And they also locked two of the lavatories, as far as I can remember, so there was no access to those whatsoever.'

The woman claimed that only one restroom at the front of the plane was open, and it was overflowing. 

'There was one lady who, unfortunately, she had a toddler that needed to use the restroom, and the same thing. She was told she had to use a bag,' she said. 

'She opened the door to the toilet, and the grimace on her face...you could tell she was going to get sick to her stomach because of the sight and the smell.' 

American Airlines said all bathrooms were working when the plane took off but problems began after someone flushed a diaper down one of the toilets. 

The airline said in a statement that all lavatories 'must be working properly prior to departure'. 

The flight attendant told her that someone 'on the ground' must have overflowed the toilet 

She said that the problem only became exacerbated after more people began using it 

There was ultimately only a 'little space' left, so attendants tried to have passengers use bags or bottles instead 

'If an American flight is in the air, and all lavatories become inoperative, the flight will divert to the nearest suitable airport in order for maintenance to rectify the situation,' it continued. 

'Due to the location of the aircraft, the flight continued to its intended destination.' 

The airline said the issue was fixed in Kona and the plane returned to Phoenix as scheduled.  

'We are very sorry for the trouble this caused the 187 passengers on flight 663,' it added.

'Our customer relations team will be reaching out to all of the passengers on this flight to extend our apologies.'  

The woman who filmed the video was offered $240 in vouchers and 17,500 miles.  

But the passenger refused, saying it wasn't enough to compensate for the horrific experience. 

'I grew up in a communist country,' she said. 'And I've never experienced anything like this.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
