Delta Flight Diverted After Maggots Fall On Passenger From Overhead Bin

A Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit made an unexpected U-turn about an hour after takeoff due to an incident where maggots fell from a passenger’s suitcase onto another traveler.

According to Fox 2 Detroit, passenger Philip Schotte witnessed maggots fall from an overhead suitcase onto another traveler during the flight.

“She was freaking out,” he told the outlet.  “She was just trying to kind of fight off these maggots.”

“I don’t really know what was going through my mind. I was trying to process it – disgust is one thing, of course,” Schotte said. “We had to wait there for help to actually come.”
