Passengers will always remember their British Airways flight to Lagos…and the memory will not be a savory one after a disturbed passenger defecated on the galley floor, smeared it around the cabin, and even chased other passengers with it.
Passenger Defecates On Floor Of British Airways 777-300 During Boarding
The incident occurred on BA75 from London (LHR) to Lagos, Nigeria (LOS) on October 7, 2022.
According to a leaked maintenance log, the trouble started during boarding:
“During boarding a passenger stripped from the waist down and defecated on the galley floor. He sat in it and rubbed it onto the galley floor and aisle carpets.”
“He walked in it and started running up the aisle as far as Door 4. He smeared his arms to elbow in faecal matter, and door seats as he went.
“The curtains and carpets were severely contaminated. Very important that a hygienic biohazard and deep clean is carried out and properly supervised and signed off.”
It is not clear what triggered the incident. Video or photos have not emerged.
British Airways chose not to rub in the news:
“We apologised to our customers for the delay to their flight and arranged for an alternative aircraft to allow them to continue their journey.”
So was it drugs? Alcohol? What else could possibly cause something like this?
British Airways was able to find another 777-300 and transferred the passengers and crew to that plane. All of this must have come at great expense and I hope that British Airways will send the passenger a bill for the unexpected additional costs.
CONCLUSION
Beyond a deadly crash, there are few more harrowing onboard incidents I can think of (maybe snakes…). Kudos to British Airways for quickly finding a replacement aircraft to get passengers on their way. The troubled passenger may have been on a quite a trip, but it wasn’t from London to Lagos. I hope he pays up…

This seems like something that would happen on a flight from MIA to LAX.
Hahaha! ROFTL!! Oh Jared..
To be fair, I agree with this, as well as any LAX-SFO flights too!
Awesome!!!
If I had been on that flight, I would have vomited. What an absolute nightmare scenario.
“Beyond a deadly crash, there are few more harrowing onboard incidents I can think of (maybe snakes…).”
I think I would pick feces over snakes, maybe……..
This individual didn’t want to be outperformed by the pussycat that terrorized a Delta flight recently.
Maybe he took the magic mushrooms???after drinking
Sounds like someone under a removal/deportation order trying to stall the proceedings.
While most don’t go this far, similar activity is common for many being removed from the UK to West Africa. Wetting themselves and trying to contaminate the maximum possible area is most common. It is even mentioned as a suggested way to delay deportation flights in handouts given by friendly “human rights” groups.
@Sean, Now I’ve heard it all. Wow.
Nice try but BA don’t do deportations.
Well, low oxygen levels? There have been studies done where it was shown that the high altitude induces
anxiety and craziness in people. Flight attendants now have to be trained as prison guards with Ties and Tasers.
Low oxygen at LHR? At least this was during boarding. If it were in flight, I think you’d have a plane full of vomit by the time they landed.
The guy had to cut some rope. Give em a break.
Hey, where’s the part where he chases other passengers?
Where are the pictures? Surely several people had phone in- hand.
None have emerged yet.
I have an idea for an exploitive TV show….”PAX Acting Like Idiots”:
– PAX punching FA’s (served the wrong type of mushroom)
– PAX screaming demonic phrases: “End of the world” (please take your seat)
– in air fist fights (used to be an Spirit exclusive, now the latest craze)
– check in counter fist fights (another Spirit original)
– PAX opening exit door while on the tarmac (seeking therapy)
– Comfort Animal gerbils attacking or defecating in-flight (watch your step)
– FA opening exit door slide while on the tarmac (an B6 exclusive)
– Fat Shaming (Dr Sydney Watson will recite her blog postings)
– TSA fondling PAX’s (not just SFO anymore)
– Snakes on a plane (two part episode)
-Rapunzel hair and man spread encroachment (the perils of economy class)
– Karen shaming seat swap intimidation techniques (stand your ground)
The above is only the first season….
Nothing to see here. Just your typical January 6th Republicans flying the friendly skies. Or it was Cheeto himself.
Either way, basking in poop and expecting everyone to simply deal with it, is the GOP in a nutshell.
Laughable – the way some have to pull politics and insults into everything.
