KLM Flight Diverts to Bermuda Due to Overwhelming Pig Odor

A flight from Amsterdam to Mexico City made an unscheduled stop after the smell of 100 pigs in the cargo hold permeated the cabin and cockpit.

KLM Flight 685, carrying 259 passengers and 100 pigs, was forced to land in Bermuda after six hours due to an unbearable stench from the cargo hold.
The pigs were being transported to Mexico City and were overseen by a government veterinarian during their unexpected stay on the island.
Passengers and crew were accommodated in local hotels, while the pigs were housed in a secure facility and cared for by local authorities.
The unscheduled stop caused a delay of approximately 30 hours for the passengers and the animals, with the pigs continuing their journey on a separate cargo flight.
The cause of the odor spreading into the cabin remains unclear, with potential issues in cargo ventilation or loading procedures being investigated.
