Airplane Makes Emergency Bathroom Landing
.
Summary:
A Delta plane bound for Seattle from New York had to make a detour and land at Billings Airport, Montana, a little more than halfway through its trip – its onboard toilets malfunctioned and the passengers had no way to answer the call of nature.

Language Enhancement:
Detour (n./v.)(繞行)
相信很多同學知道「捷徑」的英語是 shortcut (n.),而與它相反的「遠路」則是 detour (n.),常見用法是 make/take a detour。廣東話的「兜遠路」,可直接以 detour (v.) 表達。
e.g. We are going to make a detour to the supermarket to pick up some groceries on our way home.
e.g. We were supposed to be at the camping site hours ago – James detoured to see the lake on our way there and we had to go with him. .
