Toilet Trouble on the way to Hong Kong

Cathay Pacific has been in news, as their entire long-haul airbus fleet has toilet trouble. Seriously, despite the fact they are licenced to fly hundreds of people thousands of kilometers, they have had such bad toilet trouble they have had to divert a flight from Riyadh bound for Hong Kong, to Mumbai. All ten toilets had stopped working! On other occasions passengers were bumped from flights after they realized they could not maintain the 80 passengers to 1 toilet ratio the airline requires of itself. Their spokeswomen seemed in a combative mood according to the BBC's article;
blaming passengers she said:
"You would be amazed what we find in the pipes when we clean the system - not just face towels but medicine bottles, socks, items of clothing and even children's stuffed toys,"
