Flight filled with more than 80 plumbers on it had “toilet problems” that couldn’t be fixed

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 30: A touch lavatory is seen on the United Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Los Angeles International Airport on November 30, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. In January the new jet is scheduled to begin flying daily non-stop between Los Angeles International airport and Japan's Narita International Airport and later to Shanghai staring in March. The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner will accommodate 219 travelers with 36 seat in United Business First, 70 seats in Economy Plus and 113 in Economy Class. The carbon-fiber composite material that makes up more than 50 percent of the 787 makes the plane jet and more fuel-efficient. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

How many plumbers does it take to fix a lavatory on an airplane?

Videos by Rare

More than 80, apparently.

Twenty minutes after take-off, an aircraft flying from Oslo to Munich was forced to return to the tarmac after passengers noticed that one of the toilets on the plane was broken.

The weird thing is that more than 80 of the people on board that plane were plumbers. You know, the people who literally get paid to fix broken toilets.

Most of the plumbers on the plane worked for the same company: Rørkjøp, whose Chief Executive Frank Olsen told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet that his employees “would have liked to fix the restrooms”.

“Unfortunately it had to be done from the outside and we did not take the opportunity to send a plumber in line at 10,000 meters,” he said.

The irony was delicious, so naturally, this story blew up on Twitter.

Who knew plane toilets could be so troublesome?

Everybody, it turns out.
