SIGNS: Maggots On A Plane Is Real—Not Samuel L. Jackson Film Remake

You won’t believe what the woman was offered who was the recipient of said maggots.

Unlike the nightmare-turned-film Snakes On A Plane starring Samuel L. Jackson, maggots on a plane really happened.

The terrifying occurrence apparently went down on a recent Delta Airlines flight scheduled to fly from Amsterdam to Detroit. According to an account from a passenger provided to Fox2Detroithe saw about a dozen maggots, not snakes, fall from an overhead bin and land on a female passenger seated next to him.

While maggots didn’t start spewing from every overhead and or cabin storage orifice in the plane like the movie, the source of the issue was nearly as unsettling. Apparently, flight attendants discovered the maggots were the result of a passenger’s carry-on bag, which contained “rotten fish” wrapped in newspaper.

Of course, the plane diverted back to Amsterdam and was taken out of service for cleaning. What happened to the woman you ask? Users on Twitter (X) are speculating Delta offered the woman compensation in the form of a $30 meal voucher and a measly 8,000 miles.
