A former Delta Air Lines flight attendant is suing the company that operates the central terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after she says she was inundated in human waste when a pipe burst in a sleeping room.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the lawsuit claims Tina Brock and several other flight attendants were asleep in the room on Aug. 1, 2012 when waste began pouring out of the ceiling. The waste allegedly got in Brock’s hair and mouth, and ruined most of her clothes.

Now, Brock claims in the lawsuit that the incident has left her psychologically scarred, with severe post-traumatic stress disorder which makes her unable to handle being in small spaces or to be intimate with her husband. She says she must regularly undergo counseling for her disorder.

Furthermore, Brock’s lawsuit says she had to stop working as a flight attendant this year because the crowds and congestion of airports and airplanes trigger her symptoms. She had been on the job for 18 years.
