The odour of a cargo of stinky fruit caused passengers of an Indonesian flight to demand crew remove it before departure. The Sriwijaya Air flight at Bengkulu had been carrying about two tonnes of durian, which is known as the world's worst-smelling fruit, in its cargo hold, the BBC reported. Travellers weren't satisfied with advice from the flight crew that the smell would dissipate after take off, with one man reportedly starting a protest chant with other passengers that they didn't want to fly on the plane. Some passengers were so angry there was almost an altercation with crew, the BBC reported. However the airline agreed to remove the fruit, and passengers disembarked while it was offloaded.
