Qantas: And now even the toilets don't work!

The way Qantas is going, the airline is better off shutting down: Hole in the aircraft, tires blowing up, fluid leaks, doors not closing, hydraulic failures, rudder problems, and now dysfunctional toilets.

A Qantas 737 from Sydney to Perth was forced to land because the toilets wouldn't flush; they'd forgotten to empty the them after the last flight. The plane was diverted to Adelaide to sort out the toilet situation.

This isn't the first toilet issue for the airline. Not long ago passengers were doing their business in the airline's sick-bags as they were not allowed to move from their seats for an hour as the plane tried to land.

This is the 5th or 6th flight issue with Qantas since July 25 when "explosive decompression" caused a four meter hole to rip across the plane when it was at a height of 29,000 meters.

Qantas oh Qantas. Sort your sh*t out!
