What happens to the stuff you flush down the toilet on an aeroplane?
Answers:
It isn't true it is dumped mid flight! There are trucks which empty it at the airport just like you would empty sceptic tanks.
It is quite common for illegal immigrants to get on a plane to the UK and rip up their passport & throw it down the toilet on the plane so they can claim asylum when they land (they can't be sent back without a passport). When this happens the Customs & Immigration staff have to get someone to hoke through the toilet contents!
it gets sucked into a big tank which they pump out when they arrive at an airport.
There are many stories about this but do you really think they could just dump it? I mean, come on!
Yes, it falls straight out the bottom. That's why you can't go before take-off, for fear of skid-starts.
Its like a RV the all get empty out in a tank. No not in the air how nasty is that!
no, they hold it in a tank until the plane lands, then they empty the tank. it would be harmful to the environment if they just pitched it from the air.
I think they store it in the bottom of the plane and empty it out when they land. But I do know that one time, people who were taking a romantic boat ride in France once had all the contents dumped on them when the tank was accidentally released.
It is flushed into a tank on board the plane. When the plane lands, the tanks are flushed out - much like a trailer dumping station for RV's in a campsite.
What a wind up! Of course they don't. It goes into a holding tank which is emptied at the airport.
it gets dumped on people who can't spell, no j/k j/k, it get put in the tanks, on the bottom of the airplane and they empty them when they land
It goes into a holding tank and then gets pumped out after each flight.
Don't look up to the heavens with your mouth open or you'll soon find out what they do with that stuff.
All you ever wanted to know about airplane toilets:
http://travel.howstuffworks.com/question.
All contents are released over Detroit.
ask Billy Connelly; he had a routine about the "jobby wheecher" ages ago.
but no, the crap goes into a bucket. The bucket is emptied with a hose that the ground staff stick onto the plane (I think) via a little valve. If the valve leaks while airborne, the shoite will leak out (because the cabin is pressurised) and freeze on the outside around the valve. Bits of it will fall off. "blue ice" it's called. Dangerous, unpleasant, and completely impossible to trace to any particular aircraft.
I think it's filtered through some old tights and they use it to make the coffee.
its frozen , and normally ejected over the sea in the form of a large ice block, but errors have been made on where its been ejected , one report was a block went through someones roof., so you were lucky.
Have you ever seen the movie Joe Dirt?
Well, it's supposed to be held in a tank until it lands and is cleaned out. But sometimes it "lets loose" in the air, freezes in a block, and crash lands, hopefully in an empty area, sometimes not.
airoplane toilets work on the same principal as portable toilets, they have a chemical in them that disolves all waste.. down to liquid form which is then emptied on arrival!!
oh, by the way my brother used to empty the portable toilets, he used to say he had the 'crappest' job ever!! :-) funny but TRUE!!
its stored in chemical tanks then removed when plane lands if it just fell from the plane it would be raining po instead of acid
They aim the stuff at birds.
Revenge is sweet.
It is stored in a tank. In rare instances "blue ice" can fall from the sky when a plane comes into land if the way of emptying the tank has a slight leak.
It goes int a tank and gets pumped out at the airport just like a RV exept it is okay to #2 on a plane if you must. I is not ejected from the plane like in that movie Joe Dirt.
That one that hit you're window was probably a rock or maybe aliens did it.
the waste goes in to a holding tank and is dumped in to a latrine service truck when the aircraft lands the toilet is cleaned and fresh flushing fluid is placed in the tank on the aircraft generally in a maintence stop or a long layover
And where do you think the cabin stewardess gets the tasty mushroom soup from?
years ago it did exit the plane. now its in a tank in the plane and dumped when it lands. trust me a frozen turd from 27500ft just might leave a mark
It gets sucked into the jet engine, ground up and ejected and that's the stuff you see making those big trails way up in the blue sky.
it is stored in tanks, believe it or not the weight of the content of the tanks is used to balance the aircraft during flight and as such certain assumptions are made, now depending on the aircraft, it can be dumped in blocks of ice, usually over sea, but sometimes on land or it can be pumped out at the airport.
in tanks dude .in tanks :)
the best way to check is have a dump while in flight,pull the chain then quickly run and open the door and look outside for toilet paper blowing in the slipstream
the shitsucking guy takes care of that usally before next departure
