Passenger airplane of the Airline Company Air Canada made emergency landing because of overpowering stench on the board, informs The Independent.

Incident took place in the airplane Boeing 767 that flew from Montreal to Vancouver. When crew members smelled awful stench they tried to determine its source but they failed. The smell spread quickly over the entire cabin and pilots had to ask for emergency landing.
