Blue Blankets Block Brascos
Hi all.
Does anyone know anything about blankets being flushed down aircraft toilets? The QF64 from JNB was delayed almost 24 hours earlier this week because the toilets were not working. Engineers initially found that a blanket had been flushed down the toilet, then, on further investigation, 3 (or 4?) more blankets were found flushed down other toilets. Big repair job - big delay. This was fact.
Now, the rumour I have also heard from a ground engineer upline is that there were about 4 aircraft grounded for the same reason.
I think this is probably a case of chinese whispers, but I am wondering if anyone else has heard anything about this...
