That kid's a regular MacGyver.

He's a kind of Super Boy Scout who could take down a commercial airliner with only his own feces, although even he would probably also need a gum wrapper and some wood shavings. So this kid's pretty amazing.

... I can't imagine a stinky baby diaper in the toilet smells anything like gas or something else dangerous...

And as far as I know bombs don't really smell, so next time spray a bit of deoderant in the toilet, and save a few $K. :P

wow that's incompetence. I sure shit smells the same on a plane as it does in a bathroom. Really no-one would just walk into bathroom and flush the source?

Can't really flush an actual full diaper down the toilet.

Its a plane toilet. They just drop out into sky.

Eitherway, it could have been retrieved (as it was anyways) and put into plastic bag to keep smell contained.

Considering everything that has happened, I guess it's better to take as many precautions as possible. Still, I agree with you that they should have recognized the smell and not have put as much worry as they did.
