Few people are fans of airplane coffee, but one particular cup caused heartburn for hundreds of travelers.
A spilled cup of java left 241 passengers grounded on a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Frankfurt when it created communications and navigation problems on a Boeing 777.
Flight 940 diverted to Toronto on Monday night, according to a report from Transport Canada, the nation’s civil aviation authority, after one of the plane’s pilots spilled coffee in the cockpit. A United spokesman said flight turbulence prompted the mishap.
