BURNSVILLLE, Minn. – Congress member Angie Craig asked the Federal Aviation Administration to check into excrement falling in Burnsville, apparently from an airplane. The poop hit several cars in in a Caribou coffee pick-up line. “My constituents need to know that their environment is safe,” wrote Craig, who represents Burnsville and other southern Minneapolis suburbs. Craig said she believes the flying fecal matter was not a one-off. She cited “many instances” of human waste leaking from airplanes: “My constituents have the right to live their lives without the threat of sewage getting in their coffee.”

A United plane?

Carisa Browne, whose cars was among those hit by the gooey stuff, thinks a United Airlines flight may have let loosed its bilge. Asked to respond by news station WCCO, a United spokesperson said: “No reports on this from our end.”
