    Yes, you read that right. According to the Independent, a passenger reportedly had rotten fish in their suitcase and somehow got it through TSA. The luggage opened on the flight, causing passengers in the economy seats to have maggots come down on them.

    A passenger named Philip Schotte, who saw the entire ordeal, spoke to Fox 2 Detroit and described watching maggots fall on a woman seated near him. "She was freaking out," Schotte said. "She was just trying to kind of fight off these maggots."
