American Airlines flight evacuated due to a bad fart, according to an airport official
An American Airlines flight was evacuated after a sick man broke wind so violently it caused nausea and headaches among his fellow passengers, according to a US airport official. The aeroplane had landed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), North Carolina, on 16 July at around 4pm when the man "passed gas" in the words of the official.
The resulting smell was so noxious that fellow passengers became ill and were rushed off the flight, according the RDU employee, who spoke with CBS South Carolina. The plane was not identified though it is understood to have been scheduled to land at RDU rather than being diverted as a result of the potent gust.

They said: "We did have an aircraft from Charlotte to RDU this afternoon, that landed at 2:19 p.m. ET, and arrived the gate at 2:21 p.m. ET, that is currently out of service for an actual mechanical issue – and odour in the cabin. But It is not due to 'passed gas' as mentioned."
The times referred to in this statement do not coincide with those made by the RDU official, only compounding the confusion surrounding the alleged trump.
Ah, 'trump'! I knew that there must be a logical explanation...
