A video has been making the rounds of an airline pilot revealing where your poop goes after you flush. Most people think it dumps directly down into a waste area below, but that’s not exactly the case.
@flywithgarrett Ever curious where it goes when you’re on the airplane? 🤢💩✈️

It goes through a plumbing system to the back of the plane, and into a sealed compartment for the ground crew to remove. He adds that a long-haul flight will have over 1,000 flushes, and create over 320 gallons of waste.
