Air India Flight Returns to Chicago After Extensive In-Flight Toilet Issues

An Air India flight from Chicago to New Delhi was forced to make an emergency U-turn after nearly 10 hours in the air when 11 of its 12 toilets became clogged due to unsuitable items like rags, clothes, and plastic bags being flushed.

Air India has since stated that an investigation revealed that improper use of lavatories was to blame for the breakdown. The airline urged future passengers to use toilets only for their intended purpose to prevent similar incidents.
