Passengers on a trip from Spain to London had a shocking mishap that left them stuck. On an easyJet aircraft from Tenerife, Spain, to London’s Gatwick Airport, the incident took place. After a man urinated on the plane’s floor, the authorities decided to cancel the trip. As there were faeces on the toilet floor of the aeroplane, the pilot announced that the flight would not take off. The pilot is heard saying in the viral video that they would spend the night since it would be really interesting to urinate in the front toilet. They would really deplane everyone and make plans for them to stay the night and fly the next day.
