Plane diverts after flyers fall ill from 'dirty socks' smell
A Spirit Airlines flight was diverted after passengers were sickened by an odour they say smelled like "dirty socks". Several passengers experienced burning throats and chest pains, with some children reportedly vomiting and at least one woman fainting. "We apologise for the inconvenience this diversion has caused...the safety of our guests and crew is paramount," the carrier said.
