he falsely believes to be his"lucky meteorite." In explaining that the object is no meteorite but is, instead, a large ball of shit, an appraiser tells Dirt that airplanes"dump their toilets at 36,000 feet and the stuff freezes and falls to Earth."It is true that frozen globules of poop can and have fallen from airplanes, but this is. All commercial airliners currently use one of two basic toilet systems, and neither of them is designed to release waste during a flight.
Both forms of toilet are still in operation, and in both cases, the waste material is removed by an airport's ground staff. It is at this stage that things can potentially go wrong. A 1980 Federal Aviation Administration to airlines highlighted the risk of falling clumps of waste material that could result from poor maintenance of lavatory systems:
Waste leakage has been a documented problem for air travel for some time. In 1991, for example, the FAA launched an investigation aimed at figuring out which airlines were responsible for dumping"ice bombs" in their approach to Kennedy and La Guardia airports in New York. AsLong Island can look forward to an ice-free autumn.
Because such events stem from improper maintenance or faulty parts involved in aircraft lavatory systems and not from an intentional design to jettison waste into the atmosphere, the claim that human waste is released directly into the air during a flight is"False."Crescenti, Peter."F.A.A.
