Maggots (worms) fell on passengers from overhead storage compartments on a Delta Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit yesterday (Tuesday), according to the British Independent.
The origin of the worms is in the fish that a passenger stored in his hand luggage that he brought onto the plane and placed, as written, in the compartment above him.
"It's really lovely to be stuck for two hours in an eight-hour flight on the way to Amsterdam, and find out that there are rotten fish and maggots flying with us," tweeted a passenger named Kelce on the X network, in a since-deleted post about the flight from hell, which was diverted back to Europe.
The surfer told the Daily Mail that the passenger whose suitcase was responsible for the disgusting failure - was delayed upon landing and added that the suitcase was destined to be burned.

The tragic incident also attracted some attention on Delta's Reddit social network account, where commenters claimed to have witnessed the aerial atrocity.
"My family and I were in line in front of the maggots. The passenger sitting right behind us told the flight attendants that the maggots were falling on her head," a passenger wrote about the unfortunate incident.
"Ugh. I turned around and they shifted on the seat."
The family of the surfer who uploaded the post was moved more towards the front of the plane, while the wormy fish were wrapped in newspaper and evacuated from the cabin.
"Just disgusting" they added.
"This passenger just ruined the flight for hundreds of people."
Another surfer wrote that he had to wait another day for a new connecting flight on another airline.
According to Kelce, the airline gave passengers 8,000 free miles, hotel room compensation and a $30 meal ticket in case they were delayed overnight.
The Delta plane was taken out of service for deep cleaning, the Daily Mail reported.
Delta Airlines told Sky News: "We apologize to customers on flight 133 AMS-DTW as their flight was canceled due to an incorrectly packed hand bag."
