Alitalia Emergency landing BOS
 

Looks like a hazmat issue on an alitalia flight.

I expect they diverted because they were critically low on cash

:)

"Hazmat crews inspect Alitalia flight 9180 after it was diverted to Boston from Milan, Italy."

This has got to be the longest diversion in history. No wonder they are bust if they carry this much fuel!

Oh, the destruction of the english language.

How many pax would there normally be on a freight plane?

Quite a few if it was a combi aircraft....

All 5 were converted to full freighters. The door is still in the back, but it's a full upper deck Cargo System now.

Here's your answer, from the article....

Let's not get too wound up over the word "passenger", shall we?

And whose crack was the odor coming from? :p

Ah, the glorious life of freightdogs. Only part misssing: ..after a quick visit to the local watering hole. :}

Onions
 

The HazMat turned out to be minced onions. Honestly.
