Man splattered with poo after plane drops its load on his garden

LONG DROP

You know what life is like. One day you are pottering around your garden, enjoying the weather, perhaps trimming the hedge and then suddenly you are covered in poo that has fallen from the skies above.

A seriously unlucky man found himself covered with poo after a plane dumped its waste all over his garden, a council meeting has heard. Following his ordeal, the victim from Windsor got in touch with his local councillor to complain about the incident.

Councillor Karen Davies was "horrified" to hear of the incident, as she addressed The Royal Borough Of Windsor & Maidenhead's aviation forum.

She explained how his "whole garden, and garden umbrellas, and him" were all "covered" in poo.

Typically planes store toilets sewage in special tanks and dispose the content once they've landed.

She said: "I know a number of incidents happen every year with frozen sewage from planes, but this wasn't frozen and his whole garden was splattered in a very unpleasant way.

"He was out in the garden at the time, so a really horrible, horrible experience."

But Cllr Davies said the resident had decided to “Obviously he wasn’t going to do that for the sake of a couple of garden umbrellas, in terms of bumping up his premium, so he’s just sort of had to take it on the chin.”

The meeting heard how the company initially denied its plane was in the area. But it later accepted what happened after the man identified the plane via a flight tracking app.

Whitfield parish councillor Geoff Paxton, who has 40 years of experience at airports and was also on the call, said the occurrence was “very rare” in modern planes.

Paxton said he believed that, as there is less pressure below 6,000 ft, that “it could well be that something came out of the vent at low altitude.”

He suggested the warm weather meant the excrement could have "come out as a more 'fluidy' item".

If a bird poops on you or anything you own, it's said to be good luck. The Russian superstition is based on the rare odds of actually being pooped on by a bird, but this is taking things too far.
