It`s utterly offensive to pass this horrible incident off as a non - event ; as for the naysayers here , just what kind of uncivilized upbringing did you recieve that leads you to conclude that human waste running in the aisle of a passenger jet is acceptable , yet tolerable and defensible. Go back to your caves you who condone this behavior by the crew on this Continental flight. Cheap American carriers , I can just imagine the outcry if it was someone else`s national carrier. Time to look in the mirror and have a good look.
