US Airways flight aborted by maggots

For anyone jumping to conclusions -- no, the maggots didn't come from the aircraft galley.

It was maggots falling from a container in an overhead bin that forced a US Airways plane to return to the gate in Atlanta.

It was determined that the maggots came from spoiled meat.

US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher says a passenger brought the container onto the plane and passengers noticed the maggots on Monday on the flight bound for North Carolina.

The plane returned to the gate and passengers got off so crews could clean the overhead bin.

Lehmacher says the flight then continued on to Charlotte, where the plane was taken out of service and fumigated out of an "abundance of caution."
