Plane does U-turn over smelly loo

A British Airways flight to Dubai was forced to return to Heathrow Airport when a "smelly poo" in an overflowing toilet became unbearable for passengers.

The BA105 flight took off at 8.15pm on Thursday night and was due to land in Dubai seven hours later. Instead, passengers had to wait 15 hours before they could resume their journey, and caught another flight to Dubai at 1pm on Friday.

The captain said the plane's crew had investigated the problem, but were unable to fix it, so the plane had to return for health reasons.
