No doubt just about everyone has experienced an unpleasant odor during a flight.

Well, NBC News reports that a Spirit Airlines flight from New York to Fort Lauderdale Florida had to make an emergency landing -- after what passengers described as foot odor began to cause some passengers to experience burning in their chests and throats.

The flight was diverted to South Carolina and all 220 passengers were forced to disembark. Between 7 and 10 passengers were transported to the hospital.

Hazmat crews searched for the mysterious odor but were unable to pinpoint the source.

1. Question:

Was Chris Christie on the flight?

2. sounds like it's just people guessing that it was foot odor.

if they're still investigating the source, sounds like they really don't know for sure.

but without guessing it was foot odor, it probably wouldn't be in the news....
