Was it beans? It must have been beans.
Last week, a Singapore Airlines flight from Adelaide, Australia bound for Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) was forced to conduct an emergency landing shortly after it took off, because its cargo of 2,186 sheep started farting in the plane.
No, really.
Newsweek (of all people) reported that due to the sheep’s collective flatulence, a surplus of methane gas built up inside the cargo hold, setting off smoke alarms across the Boeing 747, prompting the flight crew to initiate emergency landing procedures.
The plane touched down in Bali’s Denpasar Airport 45 minutes after it took off, after which no actual smoke was detected on board. Also, we presume they aired out the plane and looked upset at the sheep for farting away.
After being grounded in Bali for two and a half hours, the flight resumed its trip to KLIA.
Meaning there are more than 2,000 sheep currently in the country with some really heinous gas. You’ve been warned.
