An American Airlines flight from Madrid to Dallas-Fort Worth was diverted after six of the plane’s eight bathrooms stopped working during the 10-hour transatlantic journey.

American Airlines Flight 37, carrying 287 passengers and crew, landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York Tuesday afternoon after pilots reported that the Boeing 777 had an “inadequate number of operational lavatories,” according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
