A strange odor (seriously) during Wizards game leaves fans with concerns and questions

Submitted by truferblue22 on

Alright, so I was just reading that story posted on here about the Texas A&M reporter who was allegedly abducted, and I found myself very creeped out by the fact that she just 'turned up' under an overpass (I'm glad she's okay but...wtf?), and then I see a link in that story to this one, which is even more bizarre.

Apparently this "odor" caused people to cough and sneeze and even cry at the Wizards game??

Don't get weird on us this early, 2018....

"United Airlines passengers found themselves in a fetid situation when their Chicago-to-Hong Kong flight made an unscheduled landing in Alaska after a man had smeared feces all over some of the plane’s bathrooms, airport officials said.

United Flight 895 was diverted to Anchorage on Thursday night, according to CBS affiliate KTVA, and police officials at Ted Stevens International Airport said the landing was due to a “passenger smearing feces everywhere.”

More specifically, officials said the man had dirtied “a couple” of lavatories on the plane and had also tried to cram his shirt down a toilet.

United said in a statement only that the flight was diverted due to “a disruptive passenger.”

It's par for them. They do it quite frequently on Yahoo Sports. You click a "Read More" link, and it sends you to another website entirely. Used to visit daily. Not so much anymore.

Some weird stuff. Dont want to comment what I think because I'll get accused of tinfoil cap wearing but I can relate to what happened to that woman in Texas. One night down-town about ten years ago I stopped in a tavern and this weird looking fellow bartender gave me a couple strong shots of tequila and a few saki bombs. I think he was an alien because I got the spins later on like a spaceship was beaming me up and then woke up 12 blocks away in the morning after underneath someones evergreen tree.

I've often wondered when the first major attack (terrorist or mass shooter) will happen at a sporting event. Sadly, I think it's inevitable.

Munich massacre, 1972 Summer Olympics. Palestinian terrorists took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and killed them.

But terrorists aren't even needed. There was an Argentina @ Peru soccer game in 1964 where Peru tied the game 1-1 with a couple minutes left, only to have the goal disallowed. A fan rushed the field and punched the ref. Another fan followed, and police brutally beat him. That set off the crowd, but police launched tear gas, so they ran away. But the gates were locked, so fans couldn't get out. There was so much tear gas that some fans choked to death; others died in the crush - over 300 deaths and 500 injured.

When I was 16 I got a job at the newly opened Mt. Pleasant Meijer chasing carts and bagging. Part of the job was cleaning the customer restrooms. Crap gig for $3.25/hr. Anyhoo, one day the manager says "hey, we've got a bathroom cleanup situation in the accessible bathroom in the back. Bring lots of cleaning supplies." Red flag? Red flag! I opened the door and there was a shitsplosion; it was splattered and smeared over all the surfaces in the bathroom. The smell was unbearable. Must've been some Midland fucker. I told the manager the 80s equivalent of "Nah, dogg" and that was apparently reasonable enough because they let me keep the shitty job. Not sure who cleaned it but hopefully one of the fatcat moneybags janitors. My advice is never use a Meijer bathroom if you can avoid it.
