Constipation killed Elvis on the toilet, too. They should make laws prohibiting it.

            I was on a flight last year when it was announced, prior to landing. " The bathroom is now closed" Now it's a 'rest room'. For goodness sake we don't go in there for a rest or a bath. It is a TOILET!

                              Given the drop in service in the airline industry nowadays, it's possible that nobody cleaned that toilet for a while. Did someone check her ticket to see where and when she boarded?

                                I wonder if Delta charged the family of the women $50 for being a second bag.

                                      Now, now, now...that poor woman is dead as a door nail. I am 61. Glad I am not flying anytime soon, because I am certain that if and when I used the Toi-toi, it would creep me out! Talk about dead weight (sorry, I had to say that).

                                        Whatever happened to FAR 121.311?
                                        Per Federal Aviation Regulation the lavatory is NOT a secure area (no seatbelt).
                                        Therefore the person in the LAV should have been moved to his/her seat way before landing.

                                        Sec. 121.311

                                        b) Each person on board an airplane operated under this part shall occupy an approved seat or berth with a separate safety belt properly secured about him or her during movement on the surface.

                                          Louella~ Don't apologise, Honey...it's a sign of weakness!
                                          The food probably killed her, if the prices didn't.

                                          Cleophus~ Was wondering about the 2nd bag charge myself.

                                          Wonder if Delta's PR Department is logged in and reading this stuff...

                                              I know that if I worked for Delta I would be logged in and glued to the comments.

                                                  Delta will probably file a claim with the poor woman's estate for the extra flights she took before their ridiculously incompetent staff located her in the restroom. Delta is the worst.
