Boy Finds Bacteria, Eggs in Airplane Water
Topic: Science 8:00 pm EST, Nov 10, 2002

With his small thermal cooler packed with petri dishes, filters, agar, vials and a syringe, Zach took samples of water from the airplane's galleys and lavatory taps. He tested the waters on nine different flights and found seven were contaminated with E.coli, fecal coliform or salmonella. In one, he even found insect eggs.
