It must have been a truly … profound…. Smell if they weren’t able to clean it up after 2 hours and had to divert.

Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can't just have been a bit of a bad smell...

There was a really rich person pulling strings

Maybe there’s a formula, like cost per puke * pukers and when that exceeds the divert cost, they just go for it
