But guess who was on board to document it all on Twitter? Slash! The Guns and Roses guitarist was on board after arriving back in the country from Serbia!
Slash took to Twitter to talk about his long day of traveling, saying: "Left Serbia 8am, just arrived in LA, 10:30pm. Delays, broken toilets, u name it. Gotta love Delta. Iii|; )"
TMZ was at the airport and caught up with some of the passengers on the delayed flight, who told the website that "It stunk...there was a flight attendant standing by the door asking people not to go #2." Flight attendants also stopped serving drinks to cut down on the use of the bathroom, TMZ reported.
When reached for comment, Delta told AOL Travel that the flight was delayed in Minneapolis due to weather conditions and then stopped in Salt Lake City for an hour to repair the broken toilet.
A Delta spokesperson said that the airline offered their "sincere apology to passengers" and provided them with a travel credit in an unnamed amount.
"It is a rare occurrence and not the level of service we aim to provide," the spokesperson added.
Back in March, a broken toilet in first class on a Continental flight caused a three hour ground delay at Pittsburgh airport.

Our friends had flown in to Japan on the same Boeing 747 and they left San Francisco with the toilets also taped off. Both their and our flights were full and it got pretty bad for all in economy. Of course the Flight Attendants used the 1st Class facilities and we were barred from entering that area. Arriving in San Francisco we found many of the toilets near the gates were broken also. Passenger comfort was not a goal for United and these types of actions led to their losing so much business and bankruptcy. Served them right for their profits before anything else attitude.

August 03 2011 at 6:45 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI had a bad experience with a recent Delta Flight also. I was suppose to have a wheelchair waiting for me in atlanta. I t wasn''t there so I started walking. they change gates on me 3 times and I had a panic attack. They had to call EMT's which took them 15 minutes to get there and I was having trouble breathing. My blood pressure was at 180 by the time they got there so I wonder what it really got up to before they arrived. Thank God for some friendly people who helped me.
