Passengers aboard a Delta Air Lines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Tuesday were met with an unexpected and unpleasant surprise when maggots reportedly started falling from the overhead bin. The incident, which left many passengers alarmed and disgusted, prompted the flight to return to Amsterdam for thorough cleaning and rebooking of passengers onto another flight.
One passenger, with the Twitter handle @kelce__, shared her experience on social media, saying, 'Really lovely to be 2 hours into an 8-hour @Delta to Amsterdam and find out there is rotten fish and maggots hitching a ride with us.' Her post drew attention from other users who questioned how such a situation could occur without detection by airport security.
