A Qantas 737 flying from Sydney to Perth was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Adelaide last night so its toilets could be emptied.
Flight staff on QF571 told passengers that Sydney ground staff had forgotten to empty the toilets on the 737-300, which originated in the United States.
The aircraft had only been flying for an hour when three of the toilets ceased to function, Fairfax reports today.
"They told us that under any reasonable calculation, the rest of them would go pretty quickly," a passenger said.

It had some really unusual tailwinds. Either that or one of those mid-air tanker refuelings.

Quantas is using nuclear powered engines now? How else can a 733 make it from US to AU

This is being discussed over on the QF forum, albeit under a rather non obvious title
