    Article headline is intentionally misleading. He farted (once, if I’m reading correctly), but that wasn’t why they removed him. The fart was one part of an argument with multiple other passengers, and they removed him for causing the disturbance. Oh, and the plane had left the gate but hadn’t taken off.

    The article seems to suggest that it was less the gas itself but more the passenger being rude before, during, and after passing it

    Hello, new anxiety.

    UK sitcom: main character has a dodgy but celebrated local dish before heading home, and slowly dies inside as all efforts to stop fumigating rows 7-15 make it louder, more concentrated, and less comfortable. Has to call in to work after the emergency landing to say he won’t be making it on-schedule… and his boss says, they know, they watched the news.

    US sitcom: main character sits next to that guy, and agonizes between asking the plane to turn around over a little flatulance, and the increasingly sincere possibility of getting killed by a fart. Everyone who glances over assumes it’s his fault because he’s the one who looks ill. He’s saved from making a decision when the woman behind him stands up and fully faints. The credits shot is him on the next flight, seated between a couple having a snippy breakup, looking serenely unbothered by their bickering as he takes a deep breath.

    We get back to the gate and a flight attendant comes back and informs fartman that he will not be staying on this flight.
