Hold on to your nose clips, folks! We've got a tale that will leave you gasping for air (and not just from laughter). It's the story of 'Fartman,' the one-person gas factory whose aromatic antics caused an American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Austin to make an unscheduled pit stop right back where it started!

An American Airlines flight was delayed due to a passenger farting violently.

Imagine the scene: Passengers, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, were boarding their flight, dreaming of Texan BBQ or whatever folks look forward to in Austin. Enter our hero (or, should we say, zero?), Fartman. He's not your average Joe with a bad case of Mondays. No, sir! This guy's got a superpower, and it's not the kind that brings you a cape.

Before the seat belt signs were even on, Fartman was already brewing a storm. According to an eyewitness account on Reddit by “lamellate,” Fartman was grumbling and cursing under his breath - a warning sign of the storm. And then, in a move as bold as it was stinky, he unleashed his fury. "You thought that was rude? How about that smell?” he bellowed as he let rip a series of farts that could peel paint off the walls.

The cabin turned into a war zone, with passengers and flight attendants diving for cover (and oxygen masks). Attempts to negotiate with Fartman were in vain. He was on a roll, determined to turn the flight into his gas chamber.

Cue the dramatic twist: the plane, now filled with a haze of 'Eau de Fartman,' had to turn back. In an announcement probably never covered in flight school, the captain informed the passengers of the detour due to 'unforeseen circumstances' - a euphemism if there ever was one.

Back at the gate, Fartman was escorted off the plane, still in a cloud of his own making. The remaining passengers breathed a sigh of relief (through their sleeves, of course). The flight eventually took off, delayed but deodorized, leaving behind a story that will linger in the annals of aviation history longer than Fartman's infamous stench.

So there you have it, a high-flying drama with a twist of flatulence, proving that sometimes, the most significant threats in the sky come not from birds or drones but from a man with a bellyful of trouble. Fartman, we salute you - from a very, very safe distance.
