'Flying excrement' has Pudong residents fuming about the mess

Great headline from China:

RESIDENTS in a community along the flight path of planes near Shanghai Pudong International Airport have complained about “flying excrement” making a mess in their neighborhood.

A resident of Luchaogang Community surnamed Zhou said feces were often found splattered on cars or laundry hanging out to dry. Some people were even hit by “flying excrement” when walking in the area, making them feel “grossed out,” Zhou added.

Residents said they suspected some planes had septic tank leaks as many jets pass over the community.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport officials said yesterday that they will investigate the complaints.

 FYI: What happens when you flush a plane toilet? Are the contents jettisoned during the flight?
