    Yes, they can burrow

    To the fly/maggot experts here, yes, some maggots can and do burrow into live flesh. Anyone that's seen a pet rabbit hit by fly strike can confirm that...

    WTF?

    I wouldn't want to fly with a passenger like that *

    ...or either, to frequent such a news agency as would sensationalize this incident for purpose of news ratings.

    Someone screwed up, stored a hunk of spoiled meat stuff on the plane, people got grossed out with the maggots that followed - that's news?

    * But please, let's *not* start trying to profile people about that? Thxbai

    This is a title, fool!

    You know, over here you can't bring even a bottle of water with you on a plane. So over there in terrist-scare-central they let you take livestock? And they call themselves civilised? What?

    How dumb does US Airways think passengers are?

    Given how paranoid the thieving employees of TSA are it is practically impossible that it "was caused by a passenger who brought a container of spoiled meat onto the plane" as TSA would have found it first.

    Likely it was airline food, a recent report from the U.S. FDA that has condemned many airline 'kitchens' reporting all manner of extreme violations of hygiene rules, rodents, etc.

    In saying it was a passenger, US Airways demonstrates just how delusioned it is as overhead lockers are checked after each flight for stuff left behind by PAX.

    Besides the smell would have alerted any decent airline. US Air was the carrier that allowed a Vietnamese pot bellied pig to travel in the cabin when the owner/passenger said it was like a dog to her!

    My favorite comment

    From the readers' comments below the story, my favorite one is:

    "It sure gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "carrion luggage" doesn't it?"

    Priceless.

    All that fuss over a 20 minute flight?

    Good lord, had they been properly liquored up they wouldn't have stampeded like that. Even if one gets through security and makes it to the closest bard during the first boarding call, there's still ample time time for at least 6 rum & cokes. If you're riding in first class on such a short flight, you still have time to choke down 2 or 3 martini's before the plane takes off.
