Underwear that had been flushed down an Interislander ferry toilet caused a family to get covered in urine when "unusually high pressure" built up in the system. The liquid – urine from the ferry's toilet system – sprayed the family's car, hitting Scanlon and his son through the open windows and dripping down the inside of the doors. Scott Hammond/Stuff Sean Scanlon and family were sprayed with human pee while they were in their car waiting to disembark the Interislander ferry. "Staff were working to clear a blockage in the sewage system which turned out to be caused by a pair of underpants flushed down an on board toilet." An "unusually high pressure build up" resulted in the system spraying urine onto the vehicle deck.
