   Malfunctioning toilets cause Delta fligh

   When you really gotta go, the plane’s gotta land.   
      
   A Delta Airlines flight from Kennedy Airport had to make an   
   emergency pit stop in Montana so passengers could take a much-   
   needed bathroom break, officials said Wednesday.   
      
   Malfunctioning bathrooms on the Boeing 757 caused a real   
   emergency Saturday — forcing the plane to land at Billings Logan   
   International Airport more than halfway through the six-hour   
   flight to Seattle.   
      
   “All toilets were full and passengers needed to ‘go really   
   bad,’” according to a Delta incident report uncovered by the   
   Billings Gazette.   
      
   Once they landed relief was still nowhere in sight — because of   
   the unscheduled stop, no gates were available for the plane,   
   which had to be taken to a cargo area to unload several   
   “passengers that needed to find a lavatory very urgently,”   
   according to the report.   
      
   Ground crews had to bring a rolling stairway to the plane so   
   passengers could rush to the nearest restroom and “find relief   
   of built-up pressures,” the report said.   
      
   Passengers were allowed to get back on the plane and continue on   
   their way once the toilets were fixed and the plane was   
   refueled, Kevin Ploehn, the Billings director of aviation and   
   transit, told the paper.
